So today is the open call for the Rockettes and it is an incredible opportunity to audition
0:09
for the Christmas Spectacular starring the Radio City Rockettes and also potentially
0:13
be invited to our Rockettes Conservatory. Rockettes Conservatory is a week-long program where dancers can travel from all across the
0:21
country and the world to train at Radio City Music Hall and train with current Rockettes
0:25
learning real choreography from the show. I am looking for talented dancers who are smart, who pay attention, who listen, who
0:33
have a good sense of humor, who are happy to be in the room and are good technicians
0:37
So they really need to have a strong focus in ballet, tap and jazz and confidence
0:43
The combination is very short but we are giving everyone a chance to dance today which I think
0:46
is so important. So you've got four eights to shine. I have dreamed about being a Rockette since I was a little girl
0:53
I've always seen them and I thought they were beautiful and majestic and feminine and athletic
0:58
and it's kind of inspired my entire dance career and my dance journey is this dream
1:03
What drew me to audition for the Rockettes is that it's a group of strong women dancing
1:10
all together. I love to dance as part of a group. I love to be in an ensemble of dancers and I just think that their legacy and history
1:17
is really amazing. One of the more important things about auditioning is to know that if it doesn't happen the first
1:22
time, if it doesn't happen the second time, maybe it can happen the third time. So stick it out, learn something at the audition, come back stronger the next time, come back
1:30
more confident the next time and don't give up
