In this fourth episode of "The Rockettes Summer Intensive," cameras follow the dancers as they leave auditions behind and return home. Viewers will get a glimpse at what life is like for these aspiring dancers as cameras document their everyday lives- visiting their high schools, dance studios and local establishments. In addition, cameras will take viewers inside the girls' homes to get to know the families behind the dancers and will watch as they find out whether they made the cut and will be taking part in The Rockettes Summer Intensive training program.

The Intensive is part of The Rockettes Dance Education program, which offers dancers the opportunity to study under The Rockettes and Rockettes Director/Choreographers and experience the athletic demands of their training. Acceptance in the program is a crucial stepping stone for Rockettes hopefuls who aspire to one day dance with the renowned company. Since The Rockettes Summer Intensive program began in 2001, 47 participants have gone on to become Rockettes.
