'Tis the Season
It Wouldn't Be Christmas Without the Rockettes in a Chorus Line.
There's nothing more spectacular than Christmas in New York. City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you hear silver bells. Okay. Forgive me. I've borrowed song lyrics to describe that special Manhattan Christmas feeling that can only be expressed by song. And Norman Rockwell paintings. An absolute cornerstone of that NYC holiday is the Radio City Christmas show. I've seen it every year since I was 4, and now I make sure I take my kids and grandkids to carry on the tradition.

Kicking it Up a NotchJust as they did in 1925, the Rockettes continue to delight audiences with their optical illusion of cookie-cutter girls dancing in sync. Placing the tallest girls in the center and descending to the shortest girls on each end, the impression of uniformity is created. The girls can be no shorter than 5’ 6,” no taller than 5’ 10”. And this is just where the standards start. Being chosen to be a Rockette is a feat in itself. Never mind being able to do eye-high kicks, dancers have to be proficient in jazz, tap, ballet, modern dance and also possess vocal talents. Mix all that in with a pretty face and palpable stage energy, and you begin to understand the stringent requirements.
