My great grandma was one of the original Rockettes. Technically she was a part of the St Louis rockets before they relocated to times square and radio City. :)
-
These girls are absolute athletes. Four shows a day for 90 minutes each? Wow. A lifetime of formal dance training? Amazing.
-
The beginning of this interview was super awkward. Did she really just ask if they shave their legs everyday? Anyway, the two rockettes were really lovely.
-
I’m so glad they all openly talk about the importance of eating right. Eating disorders are unfortunately very common in dance.
-
They all look so very healthy too. These dancers are far better physical types for young women to emulate than emaciated fashion models.
-
They look sooooo uncomfortable when the interviewer asks them 'how do you maintain those legs?'
-
I dated a former Rockette! All I can say, is, you better eat your Wheaties. Those Ladies have an incredible amount of energy.
-
I can't even do a pushup
-
I was born in Queens, NY and lived there for 23 years, then moved to CA. The second I saw Rockefeller Center, the ice skating rink & that iconic tree, I started to cry and miss home so bad. I'm so proud to be from the same place like these ladies are from- the beautiful state of NY. NEW YORK STRONG ALL THE WAY!
-
This girls are not just dancers, they are athlets, entertainers, dancers, actors and so much more.
-
I'd be on my back, passed out if I had to do 1/3 of what they do. I was not that agile at age 16. Those women dancers are truly amazing. I live in Kansas, and never saw their shows.
-
Its amazing how much more talented and disciplined they are then most of their mainstream superstar counterparts.
-
I went on the tour at Music City after the Rockettes show. They are amazing ladies and all ever so talented! They were charming to speak to,and if I return to New York one day: I will definitely be going back!
-
Once a Marine, always a Marine. Once a Rockette, always a Rockette.. You could say they share a kinship.
-
The end was kind of annoying, we didn't click this video to see tourists, we came for the Rockettes and THAT is who we want to see.
-
WOW, I never imagined, I knew a lot would go in to becoming a Rockettes but these girls are super athletes and the staffing behind it all is simply amazing.
-
I mean I'm 5'7 and I can do high kicks and I do tap ballet and jazz, and I'm on my school dance team I could be a rockette if I worked really hard
-
I understand their struggle with changing and having to know a lot of styles because I’m a competitive dancer myself (jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical and point)
-
Was at there show last week. Unreal you have to see it in person to appreciate it. Great show
-
No city in the world does Christmas like NYC! ❤😍🎄🎄🗽☃️
