What they say about us

  • The Dunking Devils were a crowd favorite on Dude Perfect’s 2026 Squad Games Tour. Their team was professional, reliable, and incredible with both fans and our production crew. From planning to execution, they were amazing to work with. We’ll 100% find opportunities to collaborate again—I can’t recommend them enough.

    Ryan Britton Creative Director, Dude Perfect Experiences
  • I don’t know what these guys eat, but what they do in the air isn’t normal. Every time I watch them, I get a knot in my stomach — in a good way! But the craziest thing is that they enjoy it and laugh while doing it, as if it’s nothing special. Seriously, hats off to them. This isn’t just a show; it’s discipline, heart, and a team that breathes as one.

    Lado Bizovičar Judge, Slovenia's Got Talent
  • My head is still spinning. I myself am a pretty good basketball player, and I can say that you absolutely deserved your Golden Buzzer.

    Martina Tomčić Judge, Slovenia's Got Talent
  • That was really, really amazing!

    Amanda Holden Judge, Britain's Got Talent
  • The Dunking Devils are much more than acrobats. More than athletes. They are an academy that teaches young people acrobatics, gymnastics, and the values of playful cooperation and genuine friendship. With the belief that the key to success is following your dreams and doing things with passion, they encourage young people and are an inspiration to all.

    Borut Pahor President of the Republic of Slovenia (2012–2022)

Questions

About the Acrobatic Dunk Show

Do you only do halftime shows?

No. We cover the whole game: a 2–5 minute pregame show, 90-second quarter-break performances, 45-second timeout performances and a 5–7 minute halftime show, plus an optional Animation Team in the breaks.

How do the performances fit into game operations?

Each format is timed to its game moment so it fits the game-operations run of show. We agree entry, exit and court reset with your game-presentation team before the game.

What does the Animation Team do?

The Animation Team (3–8 animators) handles crowd engagement during game breaks: t-shirt cannon, t-shirt slingshot, crowd interaction, game-break animation. It is booked as an add-on to the Performance Team.

Have you performed at professional basketball games?

Yes — including two NBA halftime shows with the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center, the EuroBasket 2025 final phase in Latvia, the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Final in Jeddah and an NBA 3x3 event in Abu Dhabi.

How is this different from the standard Acrobatic Dunk Show?

The standard Acrobatic Dunk Show runs 7–15 min as one show. At basketball games the same team performs shorter, game-timed formats across the night.
