***Update: 7:10 p.m. So sad news, I got an email from Avi Gerver — who loved the link love BGLH gave him — but informed me that the Rockettes would like these photos to be taken down. Unfortunately he had to take them down from his site too. But, good news, I found out who the Rockette is, and will try to get her on as a style icon.***
The Radio City Rockettes are one of America’s oldest entertainment traditions. For those unfamiliar, here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia;
The Rockettes are a well-known precision dance company performing out of the Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, New York City. During the Christmas season, the Rockettes have performed five shows a day, seven days a week, for 77 years. Perhaps their best-known routine is an eye-high leg kick in perfect unison in a chorus line, which they include at the end of every performance.
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is performed annually at Radio City Music Hall and in numerous other American and Canadian cities by a touring company of Rockettes. It is one of the most-watched live shows in the United States, with over 2 million viewers per year. The Rockettes perform annually at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (since 1957) and the America’s Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit. The NBC Rockefeller Center Tree-Lighting Ceremony also traditionally includes a performance by the dance troupe.
One of the Rockettes this year is a natural! These photos were taken by Avi Gerver of Avi Gerver Photography.
