The Golden State Warrior Girls are an all-female National Basketball Association Cheerleading dance squad that performs in support of the Golden State Warriors during home games at Chase Center in San Francisco, California. The dance team consists of 18 women who also serve as ambassadors of the Warriors organization. The squad's dance style is primarily hip-hop and jazz although other styles are often incorporated into their dance routines. The dancers typically perform during two of the four regulation quarters. The squad also regularly performs during the opening and half-time ceremonies, as well as team time-outs. Typical dance routines last around 60 to 90 seconds. Over the course of the season the dance squad will perform at 43 home games including two preseason games. The squad also performs at playoff games when their team qualifies. In addition to their performances, the Warrior Girls are regular attendees of season ticket holder events which take place throughout the season. At these events, they interact with fans, assist with raffles, and sign autographs on behalf of the Warriors franchise.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a professional basketball league with teams in the United States and Canada. Nearly every team, with one exception, has a squad of dancers for cheerleading that are usually involved in dancing, charity work, fundraisers, and modeling. However, the #MeToo Movement has resulted in many NBA teams replacing their all-girl dance teams with family-friendly hype teams in recent years.
