As a director myself, I completely concur that the first introduction and first few minutes of an audition, we know if u can make it or not. And I’m saying that with much less experience, training, and talent than this director. I’ve never met a director who hasn’t felt the same way. That’s why it is ESSENTIAL to practice EVERY second of an audition-from entrance to exit. I tell my actors once u leave ur house be in “audition mode.” Make it second nature.

I love how she says: ‘the day is here, embrace it!’ - also I love watching another creative world which isn’t mine but which is definitely as high pressure if not more!

I just thought that exactly. As one who was always too short for everything..... I even had to be the 'oldest' mouse in the Nutcracker... We can call ourselves the "Tiny Dancers" hahaha!

Fun fact, when I was 11 I had a master class from a rockette and I was in that exact room from day 2

I always loved seeing the Christmas show at Radio City, with the Rockettes, when I lived in NYC. It was a Christmas tradition. How exciting it would be, although hard work, to be part of that tradition as a Rockette dancer.

The hopefuls are so beautiful, elegant and talented. The straight legs, big bright smiles, energy. I've toured Radio City and the building itself intimidates me. They walk the halls and lobby like they're always there

Enjoyed watching, best wishes to everyone!

Makes me wanna come back to New York during winter to see the show

My sons and I were fortunate enough to have visited New York City from Christmas 2019 to January 2020 just before Covid struck. Seeing the Rockettes was a dream come true and one since I was a little. Entering Radio City Music 🎼 Hall was absolutely beautiful and the Rockettes did not disappoint! 🎄🎶

They’re all so beautiful and talented! Was so fun watching this from the comfort of my sofa looking like a troll 😂

Phenomenal show. I’ve seen it twice . Good luck ladies

So much beauty and talent in one place!

Oh my, there were a few girls that jumped out right on sight. I think it was Natalie the name for example, very talented, well done.

Seing any documentary on dance schools, dance companies and auditions honestly gives me ptsd...this is such a ruthless world, hard on the body and on the mind

should have more of the rockette hopefuls dancing & interviewing, and show less of the choreographers

Well one thing to remember about the show is that the choreographers themselves are a big part of it. Yes the Rockettes are the main part of the Christmas Spectacular but, all of those iconic dance numbers…..wouldn’t be possible without those choreographers. So it’s also important to showcase the choreographers behind the dances to give them credit for creating those dances, and making them even more amazing.

Corps is fir reserve dancers chorus is backup singers

The teachers are very polite for not openly admitting that they prob cut the less good looking dancers

We recently went to see the Rockettes. There were flat faces and girls counting aloud with their mouths. Just not what you expect at this level of dancing. Glad to see them being more inclusive of race and disability; those girls shined so bright. Also loved the singers and smaller acts, but the 3D glasses were weird.

The second they do it will start looking sloppy. You can't have women at 1m45 move like women at 1m90. There has to be a cut somewhere in between that gives the unity of movement they are portraying.

This video is evidence of artistic theft. BEFORE performers are allowed to audition at RCMH, they are required to sign away - without any compensation - even if not hired - all usage rights to the video of the audition, globally and perpetuity. It's interesting that another comment, shortly ahead of this one, asked "when will the next episode come out?" Could be anytime soon. RCHM has acquired, free of cost, the rights to exploit the work and performance at these auditions by all talented artists, most of whom have spent tens of thousands of dollars a years of perfecting their craft - free of charge. How do I know this with such certainty? Unlike most of the job applicants auditioning at RCMH, I have 70 years of experience in business. I actually read and understand legal documents, including those handed out at auditions. When I was invited to audition for the role of Santa at their holiday show, I was given a release that was quite specific that I was giving them, without any compensation, the right to use a video of my audition in anyway they wished. It specified they edit and change my audition and use the materials from job application for commercial purpose, even if I was not hired. I told them exactly what I thought of their greedy exploitive crap and walked out. I have a satisfying career as a Santa and as an actor on stage, film, videos and commercials. I'm not giving up anything (especially my pride) to work for people who would do that to other performers. I am not all surprised to see them exploiting these vulnerable artists. Yes, indeed, When will the next episode be published - and on what television network - complete with commercials that earn RCMH cost hundreds of thousand of dollars per showing? Shame on you greedy, exploitive Radio City Music Hall.

Geez. There is nothing wrong with what these people are doing. As you said, the contract gives them access to this video, so if the dancers didn’t want this to happen, they didn’t have to sign it.

I suspect you do not understand why this is outrageous exploitation. RCMH is forcing JOB APPLICANTS to make audition videos that RCMH can repackage and sell without paying the job applicant. Worst of all, they are requiring that the job applicants sign away all rights to have any say in how the video is edited, repackaged and sold. The humiliating auditions for America's Got Talent are an excellent example of what RCMH is now legally allowed to do with the videos of their job applicants.

its time they accept men in the line up.
