Inside Nets Dancer Bootcamp

All this week 40+ dancers are attending Nets Dancers Bootcamp. Attendees get the chance to live the life of a Nets Dancer. Monday and Wednesday were spent learning new routines. Tuesday and Thursday they cleaned it up. On Friday they’ll get audition advice on everything from make-up to tryout attire.
