1,000 Legs Show Up To Rockettes Tryouts

The Rockettes are still kickin' after all these years. They first took the stage at Radio City Music Hall in 1932, and have had a rotating cast since. Yesterday some new girls tried out for the line at their annual audition, where just 20 spots are available and around 500 showed up to fight for them. One 22-year-old told the Daily News, "This is one of those things: you see them when you're young and say, 'I'm going to do that one day.' It's a childhood dream."

How do you think the Rockettes of today compare to those of the past?

To become a Rockette, candidates must show sufficient Camel Toe while in their leotards. Then they will be scored on their high kicks, ballet knowledge & mud wrestling prowess.
