The Rockettes Pro-Dance Team are very pleased to announce that they will be using the fantastic facilities provided by one of Scotland's top health & fitness clubs – Pro-Life Fitness Centre – for the 2012/13 season.

As well as using the Paisley club for rehearsals the team are taking advantage of their excellent gym facilities available to ensure that they are at the peak of their fitness.

Squad Manager Carole Anne Deeney says: "This is a great opportunity for the Dance Team to work with an equally professional health and fitness centre to ensure that they look fantastic and are able to perform at their very best. The club offer state of the art fitness equipment and the most highly qualified staff in the country so we know we are in good hands at Pro-Life Fitness Centre."

The team's rehearsal schedule is extremely demanding, with the members having to attend a minimum of 3 rehearsals a week. On top of this they are expected to follow their own personal fitness programme to maintain exception fitness levels and flexibility.

During the training sessions themselves the dancers cover various different types of training and exercise, including stretch and tone, aerobic training as well as dance technique. The squad members also take part in all different types of dance: from jazz, hip-hop, street dance and ballet to help build strength and technique.

The training plays a key part in the success of the Rockettes and as a team we continually strive to raise the bar, incorporating more difficult moves and improving our technique to ensure we stay the UK's top Pro-Sports Dance Team.
