Rockettes Summer Intensive (1 - 5)


In this video, you'll go behind the scenes of our summer dance program, Rockettes Summer Intensive (RSI). Dancers from around the country travel to New York City to learn our Radio City Christmas Spectacular choreography!
Some of the dancers at our Rockettes Summer Intensive (RSI) grew up dreaming of continuing their family legacy of being a Rockette! Hear their stories and see them learn choreography from our legendary Parade of the Wooden Soldiers number from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
Take a peek behind the scenes at our Rockettes Summer Intensive (RSI) where dancers learned the importance of teamwork. Rockettes choreography relies on the entire group working in unison. These dancers worked together in groups and in pairs to master our precision dance technique.
During our Rockettes Summer Intensive (RSI), dancers learn what it takes to be a Rockette! Take a look behind the scenes as the dancers learned our pre-show fitness routines and how we strengthen our bodies to be able to perform our choreography.
During our Rockettes Summer Intensive (RSI), dancers learn one of our signature precision tap numbers, Happy Feet. Not only did the dancers get to learn the choreography (and how we combine different styles of tap) but they got to sing along too. Multi-tasking!
My daughter is a member of a dance and tumbling troupe and a cheerleading squad, and I have a sense for how demanding numbers are to practice and perform.  The Rockettes are impressive for their precision and synchrony.  As one instructor said, these young ladies learn quickly that it's about sharp dancing and team dancing.
