Briefly

On a busy Tuesday morning, more than 1,000 dancers gathered outside Radio City Music Hall for the Rockettes' 100th-anniversary auditions. Among them was 18-year-old Addison Brill, who expressed her excitement about the momentous occasion, having anticipated this opportunity for years. Carol Gois, 20, returned for her second attempt, feeling more prepared and confident. The auditions feature hundreds of dancers learning choreography, eager to impress the judges. Director Julie Branam emphasizes the importance of synchronization and precision, seeking performers who can blend seamlessly into the kickline.
For others like Carol Gois, 20, from Brazil, it was her second attempt. "I think last year it wasn't as big of a reality for me, it was more of an idea."
Addison Brill, 18, stated, "I've been counting down the years until I was able to audition, so it's really incredible to be here, especially that it's the 100th year."
