Why the heck is this in my recommendation? 😂😂😂
Because its hella interesting?
Because secretly YOU wanna be a Rockette.
I was thinking the same it it was so interesting to watch!!!
Same
Joshua A mine to 😂.... maybe because Christmas is around the corner lol
Props to you, “last girl in the line”!!! I just feel like your job and part in this number may not get the credit it deserves.... so today I give you a standing ovation!!!
It's Soo slow
Lisa Payne ur not funny shut up
the vicious attack on auspicious utopia she is allowed to make a joke
I agree lol. She has the hardest quickest fall with no one to catch her
Congrats to that girl
"Then we do 18 girls and that's half the line"
Me: *chokes on water* excuse me, did you say HALF
( ಠ ͜ʖಠ)
(͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
Yup half 36 positions on the line, 80 Rockettes doing 2 or 3 shows per day in season.
I have trust issues so...
CORGIS
So I don’t care! GEt iN The LiNe
😏
Lol I saw your pic and I was like ah I remember when I watched Aphmau. Thanks for that nostalgia
"As soon as the Solja boi brings out the cannon"
TELL EM
PolarBro Omega Cannon shoots that the flag reads “YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!”
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BOOOOOOOOOOM!
I would hate to be the person in the back
The girl with the biggest butt gets that job! hehe
revin togo Well that would be me 😂😂😂
Just noticed she gets a bean bag to fall onto so it might actually be the best
She had a cushion
Wow
When I went to see it mid way through the fall they had a mishap and started actually falling very fast, but before the whole line had fell someone had regained balance and they continued normally.
Oh shit
Wow
This is very hard to do, but these women do it so perfect. It's really beautiful to see. I saw the Rockettes do this in the Passion Play for Christmas 1983 at Radio City Music Hall. It was absolutely Beautiful! Great job, ladies. Keep doing it.
welcome back to an episode of "why tf is this in my recommended?"
@@stroberies welcome back to people making fun of others because it is their only enjoyment
I hate that show, it's so boring and unoriginal now
Welcome back to the episode of, “an old joke getting annoying.”
Right 😂
Shout out to the girl all the way in the back of the line that doesn't have a person to fall back on and has to hit the floor. You're a legend.
Just Boom!
She doesn’t hit the floor.. she lands on a red pillow, it’s literally on stage
@@Welshy I believe it’s supposed to look like Santa’s red bag full of gifts. When in reality it’s a big pillow.
@@Welshy And it's bright red too. Not sure how people just can't see, or refuse to see, something so obvious that's right there in front of them
@@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!🕊️
to see this live is extraordinary. this particular bit astounded me as a child & adult & parent. but they do more. they're very talented young women!
I totally agree. Seeing them on screen just doesn't do them justice.
I’d hope the person infront had washed her hair
Chris IsBetterThanYou 😂
I would assume that they would smell hair spray and whatever the hat is made of.
😂😂💀
@Notre Aira If you didn't like their joke, you should've just scrolled past. You're obviously wrong because at the moment 966+ people disagree with you..
exactly
How to dislocate 72 shoulders at once 👌🏼😂
😂😂😂
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
I admire these women so much. I saw concentration, no giggling, serious dancers getting a beloved routine down pat.
Nevermind sleep. Let's watch a bunch of soldiers fall magically!!! 😚
They're amazing btw! Applause to the actors and the whole production staff!
They are cheerleaders, i think the most famous group
welcome to another episode of why is this in my recommendation
SHUT THE FUCK UP UNORIGINALALALALAL REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@jaydens.2526 jeez don't be too mean.
Jayden Snell I’m a bit confused but you’ve got the spirit
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!
these girls are incredibly strong. They make it look easy but it is not.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
i thought it said winter soldier fall and i expected sebastian stan falling
Nathalie Cuisia honestly same
LMAO
Nathalie Cuisia LMFAO
Do u not look at thumbnails
hahaha
These women are athletes and I love watching them. If I ever get to New York City again, I'm definitely going to try and see them. Iconic!

Each and every one of these young ladies are incredibly talented, not to mention what it really takes to do everything they do, amazing!!!
That looks insane!
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.
I’m glad they kept this performance in the Rockettes Christmas Show.
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!
It hurts my core muscles just watching this...
Strange how this video is in my recommendations. But sure, I wanna know the secrets of the wooden soldier fall. And... Thanks! 😂
Never seen anything like this in my life! Amazing strength and teamwork!! ❤️💪
I never knew the "Rockettes soldier fall" was a thing
Imagine getting to say you're a rocket. That's so surreal.
I watched their Christmas Spectacular show when I was living in NY. What a treat to watch !!
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?
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!
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
this is fantastic teamwork. EVERYONE looks like a single entity.
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.
A standing ovation for the girl in the back please 👏👏👏
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
Just because something is hard to do, doesn’t make it entertaining or impressive. This is one of those things.
They make it look so fluid!
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.
All beautiful and very talented……..over all these years……….. Bravo
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
When you wear fancy clothes, you've got to fall fancy too.
the Shako is probably the most fancy part of it
I see TH-cam recommendations have brought us all together again
Never typed anything rockettes oriented saw the show yesterday now this pops up in my recommendations lol
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
I've seen the xmas show 4 times from 7-15 years old and the soldier fall NEVER GETS OLD - love love love it! muhahahahahahah it's like a cartoon come to life!
There is literally nothing in my watch history that would indicate I’d like to see this video, but here we are. Kudos TH-cam. Another triumph!
Coming from the Netherlands this year just to see this show. A dream coming true
The ultimate trust fall
Watched the show long time ago. Amazing experience! Loved it so much!
Ive been watching the Christmas Spectacular since i was little, seeing how its done is so neat ❤
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to everyone's favorite show - "Why Is This In My Recommendations?"
For tonight's guest,please welcome Secret of the Rockettes' Wooden Soldier Fall.
**Audience Cheers!**
the faces on 0:25 tho
I was so tense all the while I was watching this video.
@The Rocketts - This is so cute and adorable haha. :) Love the Rockettes! Always have! OohRah! Semper Fi USMC ;)
I remember seeing this in the grand old Opry on Nashville. It was really cool
Very neat, but that one person at the end of the line messed it up on stage 😂
No she didn't, that's how it's done.
yeah she didn't she supposed to fall quickly
always a dumb ass in the comments with way to many likes.Shows how thick people are.
Gabzo Avro lmao what. fuck off
Gabzo Avro right
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Good idea to drop the curtain after the fall. I imagine untangling 36 Rockettes is not a pretty sight. d:
I've seen The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, ar least twice in my life.
went with my mom to see the show..it will forever be a treasured memory..
I remember in the 80’s they did this very fast & spaced the dancers apart. That was the appeal of the show.It’s done too slowly now it looks stupid.
They try.. that’s all that matters.
aprosexia the fuck are you talking about? They’re getting paid to do this
@@blakethebirdmeister5336 and if you don't want to see it don't pay... 🤷 They're putting on the show they're gonna put on.
Rose GoId Where did you get the idea that I have a problem with the show. They’re trying is no way of talking about something people pay for.
@@blakethebirdmeister5336 the show is what you're paying for.
MAD respect for the Rockettes....
Incredible!
Wow never thought it required so much work! Damn they make it look effortless
Thank u rockettes
I see recommendations have brought us together again
Wow! You all look so amazing - well done!
Thank you for sharing this. Merry Christmas!
Dude I've been avoiding anything Christmas cause I want to at least get by Thanksgiving without thinking anything about Christmas!!! Thanks TH-cam!!! Halloween hasn't passed yet 🤣
Wow, the more I learn about the Rockettes the more respect I have for these ladies.
I can't wait to see this live this Christmas for the very first time.
this looks really impressive. for anyone watching, the term for the "big hat" is "shako"
I saw it in person couple of years ago and god the rockettes are the best ❤️
Rockettes n The Blue Man Group are on my list to hit up in my lifetime
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
Flag says boom
Everyone in the audience:😂👌
I saw them perform and it was really good
When I saw this show that part was unbelievable! Amazing
This looks super fun.
I saw them do this at a show I went to and boy it did look difficult but at the same time amazing!
I mean when the first person starts falling the guy behind could just help him up
go back to your games
I have zero idea what any of this is, but it looks cool
Incredible team work!
That's neat 👌🏾
core strength alone (that these ladies must have to execute this) must be outstanding 😮
Feels like TH-cam is reading my mind? Was just thinking about this this morning lol
I've had the honor of seeing you perform live in New York city and loved it!!
ICONIC ‼️
Hello how are you doing?
The first time I saw this I was intensly curious about how they would get back up. 😅
They do that after the curtain closes.
They have to feel all that weight together.
It's really something.
The whole routine.
Just waiting for that someday when I get to see the Rockettes perform.
those “hats” are called shakos.
you’re welcome
"Are pants are stiff it really puts you into that soldier feeling" kinda makes me mad i risked my life for people like her.
Thanks again to the TH-cam algorithm for recommending something that i either had no interest in or never even crossed my mind. Twas interesting to watch 🤣🤣
Team work, team work, everybody everywhere!
I love the Rockettes!
