@Floofaloofa Год назад

@@polljones8921 and others. Still that credit and ovation for that gal is very well deserved. Prolly might not have had the same amount of notice as with other girls at the beginning of the line. Plus might've been more of a challenge had you've been in her shoes with only a pillow to fall back to. A "great job!" Applies to every one of the team nonetheless though! Especially to those in the middle ofc! Back and front included. Grats and a job well done!🥂 Now stay safe and healthy doves!💖 Edit: not everyone notices it instantly. Kinda blends with the costume admittedly. And attention's prolly focused at the beginning of the fall. Or middle. Anyways that's that. Is what it is. Have a lovely and warming evening y'all!🕊️

@caseyr9471 5 лет назад

When I went to see it mid way through the fall they had a mishap and started actually falling very fast, but before the whole line had fell someone had regained balance and they continued normally.

@PatchworkUSA 2 года назад

I just saw this last week at Radio City Music Hall during their fabulous Christmas Spectacular show. I was amazed to see the soldier fall because back in 1957, when I was in second grade and taking ballet lessons in Leavenworth, KS, about a dozen of us little girls were marching soldiers in the year end recital "Snow White". I always assumed it was somehow part of the Snow White ballet (for whatever reason!). So here was the same choreography, costumes, and music 64 years later and it turns out that this originated with the Rockettes in the 1930's. But it was so funny to remember how our ballet instructor tried so hard with us little marching soldiers to pull off this falling routine and how the last half of the girls always got squashed and burst into tears! So they dropped that from our routine. I think the Rockettes are amazing when they do it! It is not easy!!

@TallulahFoxxx Год назад

Hahaha as a retired competitive dancer/cheerleader, I’ve also experienced overly ambitious dance teachers 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ their intentions are great but trying to teach kids/teenagers who do dance and cheer as a hobby, or even competitively but they also have a life, is very hard haha! Dancers like the Rockettes have to give up their whole life to rehearse and perform, and since they’re adults, they have a lot more years of training. My coaches and teachers always tried to push us but sometimes you’re like “really, girl?” 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ hahaha

I am not sure that I could handle the awesomeness of seeing this show live (not kidding). If I don't pass out, I'm sure I would hear an usher whisper, "Ma'am, we need you to either calm down or wait in the lobby" ☺ But it's on my Bucket List. #Fan4Life
