Madison Square Garden Entertainment announces the 2014 audition cites and dates for The Rockettes Summer Intensive summer training program in New York City. The Rockettes Summer Intensive offers aspiring dancers the unique opportunity to train with The Rockettes as well as a Rockettes Director/Choreographer and learn their signature precision dance technique. Acceptance into The Rockettes Summer Intensive is a crucial stepping stone for Rockettes hopefuls who aspire and dream to one day be part of the legendary Dance Company. Auditions begin January 4, 2014 in Dallas, TX; Nashville, TN and run through February 16, 2014 in 13 different cities across the country.

"The Rockettes Summer Intensive is a pivotal program for serious dancers who want to learn the training and technique of The Rockettes precision dance style," said Julie Branam, Rockettes Director and Choreographer. "Our dance education programs are invaluable for dancers and one of the best training tools for these talented Rockette hopefuls who strive to become part of the legendary Dance Company."

The Rockettes Summer Intensive is a weeklong program, running June 15-August 8 and hosted in the actual studios where The Rockettes rehearse for their starring roles in the annual production of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular as well as their upcoming spring production, Heart & Lights, opening in March 2014. Dancers accepted into the program rehearse daily from 9:30am to 5:30pm, learning iconic Rockettes choreography. This distinctive style transcends a multitude of dance disciplines including jazz, tap, musical theater and of course the famous Rockettes kick line. The curriculum focuses on original choreography and formations from the Rockette repertoire, including brand new choreography from Heart and Lights, that will culminate in a student showcase. To be considered for The Rockettes Summer Intensive, dancers must be at least 14 years of age (by June 15, 2014) with a minimum of 5 years training in tap, jazz, and ballet and must attend a live audition or submit a video audition. All dancers must register online for an audition and pay an audition fee of $45.
