The holidays are here and what better way to celebrate than a trip to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockettes. I was fortunate enough to make it to NYC a couple years ago for this spectacular show and I’m excited to be going again in a couple weeks!
Even if you drag along your less-than-enthusiastic dance companions they’ll still love the show too, but if you need a couple reasons to convince them, try these:
Iconic Precision and Choreography – The Rockettes are famous for their high-energy precision dance routines, especially their signature high kicks. Their impeccable synchronization and complex formations, honed through rigorous training, create a visually stunning experience that is truly unique.

Holiday Tradition – The Rockettes are at the heart of the annual Radio City Christmas Spectacular, a beloved holiday tradition in New York City since 1933. The show features festive numbers, dazzling costumes, and immersive stage effects, making it a perfect way to celebrate the season.

Artistic Legacy and Inspiration – As one of the longest-running and most famous dance companies in America, the Rockettes represent a significant part of dance history. Their performances continue to inspire audiences of all ages and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of live theater.

The show only runs for 90 minutes with no intermission so it’s any easy thing to check off your list of must-do activities in NYC during Christmas!
