The Rockettes are a precision dance company, whose home is the Radio City Music Hall located in New York City. This group performs 4 shows a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Rockettes are responsible for bringing fans to their shows for more than 50 years. The Rockettes were originally comprised of 16 women and now the popular kick line has 36 members. They are known for their festive and showy holiday costumes. Little girls dream of being a Rockette when they grow up. They also have a special group that tours around the country at holiday time and every show is a total sellout. The girls range in height from 5'6" to 5'10 1/2" and the choreographer arranges them from the tall girls in the middle to the shorter girls on the end of the kick line.

The Radio City Christmas Music Spectacular which is held at Radio City Music Hall and recorded for television is the most popular television show annually in the United States. This show is usually shown at Thanksgiving, the start of the Christmas season. The Rockettes proudly bring in 2.1 million fans annually for their performances. The Rockettes are also famous for literally "kicking off" product lines for companies like McDonalds, Honda, and Oldsmobile.

The Radio City Rockettes have also been guests at the Super Bowl and George Bush's inauguration in 2001. They tend to bring smiles to all their fans faces as they are truly breathtaking to watch.

A few historical facts about the Rockettes are that the group was initiated by a man named Russell Market in 1925 in St. Louis Missouri. They were first called the Missouri Rockets. In 1927, Mr. Samuel Roxy Rothafel was so impressed with them and he brought them to New York City to perform. Apparently, they took over the Zigfield Follies when they came to New York. Another interesting tidbit is that they were originally called the Roxyettes because they performed in Mr. Rothafel's Roxy Theater. During World War II, they brightened up the holidays for servicemen by being a part of the USO tours. Sadly, blacks were not allowed into the dance line until 1987. The only justification for this meaningless policy was that black dancers would distract from the similar look of the dance group. The oldest living member of the original Rockettes is now 95 and lives in Toronto, Canda.
