On November 16th 2017, opening night of this year's Radio City Christmas Spectacular, the New York City tradition once again treated an excited and cheering audience to a joyous evening of music, dance, technological magic, and of course the inimitable 36-member precision dance team, the Rockettes.
The iconic Rockettes remain supreme with their eye-high kicks, razor-sharp precision and synchronized choreography. They prance as reindeer, dance as teddy bears, march as wooden soldiers, and tap as rag dolls, all to stunning effect.
It's the most wonderful time of the year at Radio City Music Hall! The Rockettes are in fine form and have kicked off the holiday season with another slick and polished production that's directed and choreographed with finesse by Julie Branam. Just watching that glorious orchestra rising up out of the pit while playing a festive overture certainly gets one into the holiday spirit.
