Knicks City Dancers to Hold Auditions

Lindsay Live | Jun 20, 2008 | 1

As you may remember from some of my previous posts, I had the pleasure of meeting the Knicks City Dancers back in March when I covered the Knicks City Dancers Dance Team Challenge presented by the United States Tournamet of Dance. (If you haven't seen my Lindsay Live webisode from the challenge, check it out here). Studios from all over the Northeast competed for the opportunity to perform live with the world reknown dance team at Madison Square Garden before a Knicks game.

Many of the dancers who participated in the challenge revealed to me that they aspired to be members of the esteemed troupe one day.

Well, for those who are 18 years or older, that dream may become a reality because the Knicks City Dancers are holding auditions next month.
