The
Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes
is an annual event that has taken place November through January since the 1990s in New York City. The Rockettes volunteered as USO entertainers during WWII and later performed in several venues, including Las Vegas. They have also appeared in TV specials. In 2015, the group performed in a special with Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti and
Dancing with the Stars
’ Derek Hough. Since their first appearance in 1925, their precision dance style has been revered, thanks first to chief choreographer Russell Markert and later to Linda Haberman, his successor. The Rockettes are a symbol of reaching for the stars, so the live experience is uplifting and inspiring.
The Rockettes are iconic for several reasons. Their ability to keep drawing audiences on a yearly basis is one. Their precision dance style is another. Although the group is not touring in 2019, they do make appearances in the community as well as on television. Their graceful dancing has led to descriptions of them as inspiring. They demonstrate that hard work and passion make dreams come true with enough belief in yourself.
