BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – The Prancing Elites – a gender-bending, all-male dance troupe from Mobile that has recently attracted national media attention – appeared in Birmingham Saturday night.

They played to a packed house at Black Market Bar in Five Points South.

The Elites opened the show with a single routine done to marching-band music. T

hey wore skimpy orange cheerleader outfits and carried pom-poms.

A video crew from Crazy Legs Productions in Atlanta accompanied the Elites. The crew was shooting a pilot for a reality TV show about the group.

However, the events raised the group's media profile dramatically.
