What is the Rockette summer intensive?

Do i have a good change of being a Rockette?

• I've been dancing since i was 4 and im a pretty well rounded dancer. I'm 13 right now and 5'3 (still growing) i dance 20 hours a week: 3 hours of ballet 2 hours en pointe 3 hours contemporary(including a solo) 4 hours tap (rhythm and regular including a solo) 4 1/2 hours Jazz (including a solo and technique) 2 stretch and strengthening classes and 1 1/2 hours of hip hop) i have never taken a break from dance and had have been on competition teams since i was in my 3rd year of dancing. when i was in 4th grade i made it into one of the top Teen teams and they were eighth graders at the youngest when i was in fifth grade i joined the senior team including legit high school seniors, juniors, etc currently im in a senior(Level 10) for contemporary/lyrical , jazz, tap, ballet Teen pointe and hip hop (level 9) i was wondering if i kept up with the level of dancing i do or exceed it, if i would be able to become a radio city rockette one day. i am not overweight nor a stick. i am 108-110 but built of a lot of muscle. i was also wondering if you guys think i would be able to make it into their summer intensive program with the level and amount of dancing i do? thanks so much! i am also very flexible and can kick my leg to my shoulder if i kick to the front

• Answer:

  Since you are 13 and still growing, I don't see the harm in auditioning for their SI. Your height might be an issue down the road, but if you don't try you will never know. I mean you do have 3-5 years before they would take you as a dancer anyways, you might grow those last couple of inches by then.
