About Me

The Sprockettes are an all female synchronized mini-bike dance troupe.
In a basic sense it is our mission to entertain audiences by choreographing dances to songs while using bikes in our performances.
IN a broader sense our mission is to:
Support and interact with our community to advocate and promote bicycle riding.
Empower and inspire people to live out their crazy and wildest dreams, therefore embracing the bad-ass-ossity of life and living to their potential.
To promote positive self image for all body types, offering an alternative to the dangerous mono-culture of what the ideal body type is.
To promote a female positive perspective that celebrates women empowerment .
Encourage exercise , movement, health, and a pro-physical lifestyle.
We organize our bike dance troupe in a collective fashion with consensus decision making.
Add us as your friend and we will keep you up to date with all our performances and other fun stuff!
WE HAVE A RAD WEBSITE NOW! YAY! IT IS WAY MORE UP TO DATE THAN OUR MYSPACE. CHECK IT OUT. PLEASE! SPROCKETTES.ORG
