    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.

      Jen Hughes of course we're athletes. Thank you for acknowledging that. It drives me crazy to hear people say, "oh she's just a dancer." No, I'm not a Rockette. I just danced on and off Broadway. Regardless of where you get to dance, it keeps you young the rest of your life.

      @Jen Hughes:
      Glad to see this observation already posted. Whenever the opportunity arises, I make the same point.
      Our granddaughter has taken dance classes since she was a toddler. When she was in high school, everyone in her grade took a standardized PE test. She made the highest score, besting even the supposedly stronger boys who played on teams. Yesssss!!

      Nicola Dickinson would you like to rephrase that yourself to say men and women are equal? Because it does come across that you think women are *below* men, which is complete and utter BS to think that way, if that’s what you meant. Men and women hold equal importance, and it is at least my belief we should be treated and valued as equals.

      Elise my dear....I encourage you to continue following your dream. I am a former Broadway dancer in such shows as Pippin and A Chorus Line. One of my close friends is Verna Pharo who is a former Rockette. She taught dance at her own studio in New Jersey for many years after leaving the Rockettes and I use to travel to New Jersey twice a month to teach Broasdway style jazz. I use to watch the rigerous work she would put her resident "Rockette Style" dance company and I can tell you, it takes A LOT MORE work to master the high-kicking dance style that is uniquly theirs. I would offer this as advice...get out of the high school "I am a dancer" mentality and get your butt into New York and take every class you can and go to every audition you can squeeze into a day for the experience. Don't allow yourself to feel rejection blues whe you are not chosen, but use that energy to keep working at it. This is a highly competetive field and not an easy one by any means. In the meantime, enjoy dancing.

      I wouldn’t be so certain that you’ve finished growing - you may well continue to grow for a good few years yet - even up to 24 if you’re lucky!! Growth depends on a lot of factors; dietary/nutritional, hormonal, stress levels etc.... Also be as well hydrated as possible, work on your posture and strengthening your core muscles...... oh and measure yourself when you first wake up after a good nights sleep 😉 my height varies excessively - from 5’3-5’6 (I have scoliosis and lordosis because of ehlers danlos syndrome, several of my vertebrae sublux due to EDS too so getting an accurate measurement is really tricky... though I average at 166 cms... and although my situation is a more extreme example, height can and does fluctuate more than many people are aware of, even for healthy people w/o my condition. I’m almost 30 now, and I started puberty pretty young at age 8, my feet were fully grown by age 10 and I had growth spurts at a younger age than my peers so was ‘tall’ for a while until I stopped growing (or thought I had!) age 12 at 152 cms and just about everyone overtook me 😉 so at your age I was certain I had finished growing having remained the same height since age 12, however I completely unexpectedly started growing again age 19 or so for a couple of years and grew 14 more cms (5.5inches!) - So you never know what’s in store 😊 x

    Taylor Shemko y Karen Ritchie comparten con una periodista sus experiencias y su trabajo como Rockettes, dentro del escenario y entre bastidores; la entrevistadora, ni corta ni perezosa, se mide a realizar una breve rutina con ellas, y se lo toma de buen humor lo mismo que las dos jóvenes, finalmente se despide de ellas y el video retoma diversos aspectos de los camerinos, los uniformes, la descripción del cambio de uniformes, naturalmente no se muestra pero se describe, al fin y al cabo el grupo protege los secretos más relevantes que lo hacen, si no el mejor, uno de los más aplicados y perfeccionistas en el arte del baile sincronizado.

    My school requires kicks to the tip or you hat

    • @MotionPictureMuse

      Good! In order to consistently kick at eye-level, you actually need to be able to kick higher. Plus, they do higher kicks in some parts of their routines.

      On my high school drill team, it's not required to have really high kicks, just that you have good technique

    • @kcal8631
      @kcal8631 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The high school drill team I was a member of also required us to be able to "kick our hats". We were patterned after the Kilgore Rangerettes.

  • @cassidyevans3044

    Its weird to me, because on my drill team we kick hat, (because our "formal" uniforms have hats), so eye level seems very low to me lol

    • @lyds6382
      @lyds6382 8 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      They don't because they don't always wear hats. Saying to do eye high is the only way to have consistency. Of course they can all kick higher than that.

  • @ktwashere5637
    @ktwashere5637 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    its such a contrast with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders documentary I watched about their audition process (which is pretty close to abusive frankly). The Rockettes seem to be treated well and are allowed (ALLOWED) to eat properly.
