The Washington Commanders entertainment team known as the "Command Force", is one of the league's most diverse squads, composed of dancers, gymnasts and Beat Ya Feet performers. Our team of 40+ individuals aim to bring to life the rich culture of D.C.'s iconic dance scene through high-energy, industry hip hop-based choreography while also showcasing traditional pom style routines often seen in the NFL. 

Command Force members perform at all Commanders home games! They also attend appearances in the community as ambassadors of the brand and act as role models. Washington dancers have traveled worldwide as representatives at various events and military appreciation tours over the years. During the 2023 football season alone, members of our squad had the opportunity to travel to Poland, Japan, Korea, Cuba, Curaçao, Greenland, Bahamas and Honduras to represent the Commanders. Being a member of the team provides the opportunity to perform at the professional level on the biggest stage and engage with the greatest fans in the NFL!

Command Force seeks to change the way entertainment traditionally looks in the professional sports industry by constantly "mixing it up". Performances range across dance genres but typically you will see high energy hip hop, street funk, pom and beat ya feet. Our style is a fresh approach that currently isn't typical in the NFL. Washington DC's dance scene, specifically hip-hop, is one of the best in the world and our team aims to bring that rich culture to spectators at every home game so fans of all ages can move and groove along with us in their seats!
