On the 2nd of August 2004 the Scottish Rockettes will touch down in Las Vegas for 3 days of intense dance training. The ProDance workshop is only open to Professional Cheerleaders and the Rockettes will be training alongside the famous NBA and NFL cheer-leaders.

The 3 girls from the squad who will be making the trip, will be put through there paces by the top choreographers in the US, including one of the stars from the forthcoming cheerleading movie 'Bring it On Again'. Each choreographer has an extensive dance résumé, working with stars such as Justin Timberlake, J-Lo, Beyoncé and Janet Jackson.

The Rockettes are hoping that this opportunity will take the squad to the next level and enable the girls to experience the commitment and skill of the US squads. As well as the dance training the girls will attend lectures on nutrition, squad bonding and motivation – all-important attributes of a top pro-fessional dance squad. The benefits of this trip are immeasurable and we know that the knowledge we receive will allow the Rockettes to accomplish new goals and benefit each girl on the squad and not only the girls who attend the course.

Katrina said, "I'm really excited about going to ProDance, although I have to admit a bit nervous too! It's going to be an amazing experience!"
