Rockettes Summer Intensive Holds San Francisco Auditions, 1/8

The Rockettes Summer Intensive is holding auditions for the 2012 training program on Sunday, January 8, 2PM at Stage Door Dance Studio.

Now entering its eleventh year, The Rockettes Summer Intensive offers aspiring dancers the unique opportunity to train with the world-famous 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 Rockette hopefuls who aspire to one day dance with the legendary company. Since the inception of the Summer Intensive in 2001, 47 dancers who have gone through the program have gone on to become world-famous Rockettes.

The Rockettes Summer Intensive is a weeklong program, running June 24 – August 3, 2012, and hosted at Radio City Music Hall in the actual studios where The Rockettes rehearse for their starring roles in the annual production of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Dancers accepted into the program rehearse daily from 9:30am to 5:30pm, with group education seminars in the evenings. This distinctive style transcends a multitude of dance disciplines including jazz, tap, musical theater, lyrical and of course the legendary Rockettes kick line. The curriculum focuses on original choreography and formations from the Rockette repertoire 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 22, 2012) with a minimum of 5 years training in tap, jazz, and ballet.
