As the Indiana Pacers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals, who are the cheerleaders and dancers keeping the energy up amongst the fans and team?
The Pacemates have had a banger of a year supporting their Indy team all the way to the finals, beginning Thursday, June 5. Fans rooting them on during Game 1 in Oklahoma City should watch out for the following standouts.
The professional dance squad does a lot for the Pacers — and for Indianapolis. They most recently gave out free swag to drum up support for Game 1, during an “NBA Finals Drive Thru Gear Grab” at the home Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The first game to play at the arena will be Game 3 on June 11.
One of the most popular Pacemates is StretchLab flexologist (she has a B.S. in exercise science) Kamryn “Kami” Baker, who often gets called out by name as she lights up the court with her energetic dance moves and electric smile.
Brooklynn Skinner is another stand-out performer — when she’s not dancing as a Pacemate, she’s both a model and actress.
Nurse Mackenzie Smith is also always out there with a smile, as is her teammate Dayna Feller.
Emily Roach showed her enthusiasm for her hometown during the 2025 Indy 500, where she performed.
"Pacers and Racers 🏁 💙💛," she captioned her fun pic. "(Had the best final 500 parade opening performance with the best teammates!)"
