Text

Hundreds of dancers flexed their muscles.. and put their best foot forward, for a chance to dance with the famed Rockettes of the Radio City Music Hall in New York. For most of them, the open audition is a step closer to a life-long dream. Danni Hevern traveled all the way from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
- It would mean that everything I’ve worked for since I was a little girl would be worth it, you know to happen.
Hevern is among 500 dancers vying for the few coveted spots to perform in this year’s Radio City Christmas Spectacular – one of New York’s most beloved holiday attractions since 1935. Linda Haberman, the Director and Choreographer of the show explained what she was looking for in a prospective Rockette.
- It’s an extremely demanding job. They have to be proficient in tap, jazz, ballet. There is a height requirement. But what I’m looking for right now basic technique. If you can’t get through the combination I just did, there’s no way you are going to be able to do the show. So that was sort of a very preliminary combination.
Just a few of these dancers will be invited back to kick their dance routines into a higher gear as the audition process will continue through the rest of the week.
