@@polljones8921 and others. Still that credit and ovation for that gal is very well deserved. Prolly might not have had the same amount of notice as with other girls at the beginning of the line. Plus might've been more of a challenge had you've been in her shoes with only a pillow to fall back to. A "great job!" Applies to every one of the team nonetheless though! Especially to those in the middle ofc! Back and front included. Grats and a job well done!🥂 Now stay safe and healthy doves!💖 Edit: not everyone notices it instantly. Kinda blends with the costume admittedly. And attention's prolly focused at the beginning of the fall. Or middle. Anyways that's that. Is what it is. Have a lovely and warming evening y'all!🕊️

Hello 👋how are you doing?
I just saw this last week at Radio City Music Hall during their fabulous Christmas Spectacular show. I was amazed to see the soldier fall because back in 1957, when I was in second grade and taking ballet lessons in Leavenworth, KS, about a dozen of us little girls were marching soldiers in the year end recital "Snow White". I always assumed it was somehow part of the Snow White ballet (for whatever reason!). So here was the same choreography, costumes, and music 64 years later and it turns out that this originated with the Rockettes in the 1930's. But it was so funny to remember how our ballet instructor tried so hard with us little marching soldiers to pull off this falling routine and how the last half of the girls always got squashed and burst into tears! So they dropped that from our routine. I think the Rockettes are amazing when they do it! It is not easy!!

Hahaha as a retired competitive dancer/cheerleader, I’ve also experienced overly ambitious dance teachers 😂🤦🏼♀️ their intentions are great but trying to teach kids/teenagers who do dance and cheer as a hobby, or even competitively but they also have a life, is very hard haha! Dancers like the Rockettes have to give up their whole life to rehearse and perform, and since they’re adults, they have a lot more years of training. My coaches and teachers always tried to push us but sometimes you’re like “really, girl?” 😂🤦🏼♀️ hahaha

Aside from the kick line this is my favorite part of the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular. Thanks for sharing the secret behind the legendary fall!
That looks insane!
Each and every one of these young ladies are incredibly talented, not to mention what it really takes to do everything they do, amazing!!!
It hurts my core muscles just watching this...
I’m glad they kept this performance in the Rockettes Christmas Show.
What a lovely video. The girls are doing an amazing job, learning and performing so complex a series of falls. And it is an iconic part of the show. Hats off! Or on.
By far the best performance of the Radio City Rockettes when I saw them in person a week before Christmas. I highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC around the Holidays to take in this performance. You won’t be disappointed.
Strange how this video is in my recommendations. But sure, I wanna know the secrets of the wooden soldier fall. And... Thanks! 😂
I never knew the "Rockettes soldier fall" was a thing
Imagine getting to say you're a rocket. That's so surreal.
You all do it so well ladies. First saw this some 40 years ago and now with YT I can watch whenever I want. Keep it going girls!
A standing ovation for the girl in the back please 👏👏👏
Welcome to the " *why is this in my recommendations* " squad! XD Srsly tho, this is pretty amazing and a lot of effort had been put into it... kudos to them!
Never seen anything like this in my life! Amazing strength and teamwork!! ❤️💪
this is fantastic teamwork. EVERYONE looks like a single entity.
As a dude I went along to the show, not really expecting to enjoy it, but it turned out to be the best show I’ve ever been to. It was just so much fun to watch.
I see KZread recommendations have brought us all together again
I watched their Christmas Spectacular show when I was living in NY. What a treat to watch !!
Oh I remember seeing this before, it was actually really interesting. These guys definitely deserve more appreciation.
OMG THIS VIDEO BROUGHT BACK SO MUCH NOSTALGIA FROM MY CHILDHOOOOOD
I would *LOVE* to see this live and in person! It looks like it would be soooo cute to see!

Hello how are you doing?
Watched the show long time ago. Amazing experience! Loved it so much!
I remember I saw the show the first time I went to New York and got to be in the 3rd line it was so exciting and it sparked my love for theatre and acting
always dreamed of being a rockette as a dancer myself but knew it was futile because i’m not tall enough. i remember one coming to teach our dance class years ago and learning how to do the kick line. they bring out the child in me. love it.
They make it look so fluid!
Thank you for sharing this. Merry Christmas!
I watched the rockets at Opry when I was a girl scout and I'm so glad I did. I watched a piece of history. All the women are beautiful and I cant tell they work so hard. Makes me proud to be a woman
Coming from the Netherlands this year just to see this show. A dream coming true

Ive been watching the Christmas Spectacular since i was little, seeing how its done is so neat ❤
Incredible team work!
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Wow! You all look so amazing - well done!
went with my mom to see the show..it will forever be a treasured memory..
I remember watching this back in December!! I was in awe when I saw this scene 😄😊😊😊
I remember seeing this in the grand old Opry on Nashville. It was really cool
My favorite. The Rockettes rock.
This is my first Christmas video of the season yay!!! I love Christmas 🎄💕✨
Wow never thought it required so much work! Damn they make it look effortless Thank u rockettes
Let me tell you people something I wasn’t even looking for this video but somehow I just ended up here and I ain’t even mad
There is literally nothing in my watch history that would indicate I’d like to see this video, but here we are. Kudos KZread. Another triumph!
Wow, the more I learn about the Rockettes the more respect I have for these ladies.
Wonderful!
This looks super fun.
Incredible!
Love it! Awesome
The best Christmas show ever
Ive never heard of it or seen it, it looks so cool and very impressive
I saw it in person couple of years ago and god the rockettes are the best ❤️
Beautiful! ✨
They are amazing
I've had the honor of seeing you perform live in New York city and loved it!!
I saw them do this at a show I went to and boy it did look difficult but at the same time amazing!
Y'all Are The Best!!!
I love the Rockettes!
this looks really impressive. for anyone watching, the term for the "big hat" is "shako"
The ultimate trust fall
the faces on 0:25 tho
Impressed!
Thanks KZread recommendations. I didn’t know I needed this
I see recommendations have brought us together again
This is amazing
Wow, imagine the physics involved. Awesome!
I've seen The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, ar least twice in my life.
So cool!
I was so tense all the while I was watching this video.
I saw this last Friday in NYC and it was amazing!
Having only seen the DVD version of the Christmas Spectacular, This is my #2 favorite moment. #1 is the 12 Days of Christmas (when the ladies stop and pant, then go right back into the choreography). I am not sure that I could handle the awesomeness of seeing this show live (not kidding). If I don't pass out, I'm sure I would hear an usher whisper, "Ma'am, we need you to either calm down or wait in the lobby" ☺ But it's on my Bucket List. #Fan4Life
just went to radio city today this is amazing
@The Rocketts - This is so cute and adorable haha. :) Love the Rockettes! Always have! OohRah! Semper Fi USMC ;)
I saw this last year it was so cool!
