inspire734 in reference to your idea that women have curves all over... many women have small chests, no hips, and if they work out enough, their backs will be flatter than the typical curved back of a woman. Personally, when I’m a standard weight for my size, I do not have curves all over. So please don’t take your weird conspiracy theory as fact, because you’re most likely not thinking this up yourself, you’re just following along with something that for some reason made sense in your mind at the time. I love a good conspiracy theory, but you have to be able to discern what could potentially be true and what is complete BS.

The video gets it slightly wrong... the reason for the policy is center of mass. It's a liability to touch because shifting your weight onto another person is dangerous. It can mess with the synchronicity but that is only a side effect of the added effort it takes to support your weight and another dancer (or 2). When everyone is responsible for their own weight, it makes things safer and more efficient.

One of our dancers from our studio attended the Summer intensive and she tried out and made the team and has been a RCR for the last three years. Her name is Nadia and it’s easy to pick her out because she has beautiful red hair. With all that she does, she comes home to Ohio and gives her to the studio with the little ones and helps the older girls with their solos. She is truly amazing! Although I did not see her in this video. We love you Nadia!!!!

A former rockette was a tap teacher at my studio and she choreographed dances with kick lines in them. You can't actually put your hands on the backs of the people next to you because the strength of the arm can push you forward and make the line all wonky. Another little fun fact, if one person trips and falls in the kick line, the whole line goes down like dominoes

I had a dancer friend who made it into the Rockettes after dreaming about it since she was small; saw her years later and she said she absolutely hated it and left after a couple of years. Since everyone had to look the same, the underlying need for individuality turned into jealousy.☀️

The Rockettes came to my home town one time and it was so neat to see them live. They make the dance moves look so easy.

The woman that runs my studio was a Rockette for 3 years. She now runs my studio with her husband. My little sister had her for her tap class. Keep in mind, my sister was 5 in this class. This woman told the girls, “For the recital, you will be doing a kickline with eye kicks.” This didn’t last long. Opening night of the recital, one girl slipped during the kickline. She was in the middle. All the girls face planted onto the stage. What did we learn here? *never put five year olds in a kickline*

I'm not so sure that I would want to be trained by a former Rockette, and I'm fairly certain I wouldn't want really young children trained by them. When that level of super-perfection is your norm, slowing down to normal human levels is difficult. And with children that young, I think the main thing should be that they're having fun, gain confidence and maybe discover what you're good at. Not to mention that five year olds have totally different proportions and level of fine motorics from adults, so surely it's obvious you can't take part of a grown ups dance routine for them?

I made many friends on those weekend train trips, including a guy who was The Man in charge backstage. He had some great stories, and I was even able to visit, and watch several shows from his vantage point. So awesome. And even though I was a dancer back then, I was (and still am!) too short to even have considered a career change… Thanks for this 👍

Very Fake News CNN speaking about sexism does not make it sexist.

I’ve seen the rocketts. It is amazing

Wow,!!!!! 1,000 times. They are truly amazing!!!!! Amazing. I never knew!!!!!!

Wow, that is truly one crazy thing for the rockettes

I dreamed of being a Rockette. I did that type of precision dancing in a local dance group. It’s hard work! Hours of rehearsal every day for months just to put on a three hour show once a night for a week for charity. Wouldn’t trade the experience for the world, but I never made it to the Rockettes. My last show I was pregnant but didn’t know it yet. Changed the course of my life but in a good way.

It's amazing to think about the time and effort that goes into these shows. These dancers must be incredibly disciplined!

Thanks for sharing your experience 👌👌👌and very useful comments 🙏

My Christmas is all about the Rockettes!!!

"Intense rehearsals required" noooo I never would have guessed.

I know a retired Rockette who threw away the scale the day she left. She is in her 70s now and can still strike a pose and kick amazingly well. But she told me it was constrant and grueling work but she loved her 25 years of performing.

I must know her! I was there for 28 years and am in my 70s now😂And yes, it was grueling but also made lifelong friendships❤

Brilliant, well done guys.

I love how they dance but That's a LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT OF WORK! You go Rockettes!!

I was (once) a dancer and also on dance team all through high school, and actually had several instructors/choreographers etc. ask me if I had ever considered trying out for the Rockettes. I admit, I had great high kicks! (And I’m 5’ 8” lol.)

How do they smile so much without it hurting 😧

I think this would have been my little sister’s dream. She LOVED singing and dancing.

If in NYC and the Rockettes are in the house cancel something and go see them. It is an amazing show. I never knew they never locked arms when they do the line dance. You can't tell in person.

Just watching this gives me body ache.. But I applaud them for their hardworking and efficient skills. I so want to join but ughhh I can't my body would ache from the over practice and muscles will ache.
