Barry Richards (born c. 1950) is a dancer who performed at National Basketball Association (NBA) games under the stage name Dancing Barry. He primarily performed with the Los Angeles Lakers and was a staple of their Showtime era. Richards made his Dancing Barry debut for the Houston Rockets in 1975, and he performed in Houston for a few years. Starting in 1983, he was a paid performer for the Lakers for seven full seasons. He later briefly performed for the Charlotte Hornets as Magic Barry, a name he also uses for his entertainment company, corporate game shows and magic act. ==Early start== Richards graduated from the University of Houston. He first danced at a Houston Rockets game in the 1975 NBA Playoffs. Richards had recently graduated from a Fred Astaire dance studio, where he received a deal for five lessons for $5. The Rockets' opponent was the New York Knicks, whose home games at Madison Square Garden featured Dancing Harry placing a whammy on the opposing team.〔 Richards' friends encouraged him to be Harry's counterpart.〔 In the first game of the series, the Knicks were being routed in the fourth quarter and called timeout; the band started to play. Avoiding security guards, Richards put on a foxtrot move and continued dancing and avoiding security through the entire song. After the song ended, he ripped open his shirt to display "DANCING BARRY" where Superman wears his "S". Dancing Barry became a mainstay at Houston Rockets games for the next four seasons. Interest in Richards' act dipped the following year, so he left his job as the corporate chef of an oil company and moved from Houston to New Jersey.〔〔
