They don’t just kick high and look pretty.

DANG!

Where are the high kicks?

This thread would be more useful with videos of the high kicks.

Getting harassed while jogging in Central park might find useful a hard high kick to the groin of the assailant.

MORRIS: I don't like the way they cover their jugs all up with the feathers, you know, Reg?

REGGIE: They are so beautiful.

MORRIS: They oughta cut the costumes up higher on the thigh, so you can see more a**.

REGGIE: You make me sick when you speak, Morris.

MORRIS: This isn't art. This is sex.

REGGIE: Ooh!

That’s more like it!

And not just the groin. A Rockette can conceivably kick high enough for her attacker to lose a tooth.

Four ninety-minute shows a day sounds really punishing.

LOL!

I have been to the Radio City Cbristmas Spectacular many times, and will be going again this year. The Rockettes are truly spectacular. Since I practice Taekwondo, I am well aware of how much strength, stamina, and flexibility is required to kick above shoulder height, repeatedly, and these women do it many, many, many times during each show. Add to that the energy and strength required for all of the other dancing they do, and you can only marvel at their fitness and dedication. And they don’t really get paid that much for it.

We watched their Christmas Special from a few years ago on DVD. They are simply amazing!

Being an ‘uncultured’ Hick From The Sticks, I looked up some info about them:

https://www.todaytix.com/insider/nyc/posts/10-fun-facts-about-the-radio-city-rockettes-listicle

“All dancers need to be between 5’6” and 5’10.5” tall.
While it might look like their heights are uniform, they all fall within that range. To make it look like they’re all the same height, the taller dancers are in the center and the shorter dancers taper out toward the end.”

Perfect!!!

And yes, as a man, there is absolutely no question that seeing 20 or 30 of these athletic women kicking their beautiful legs over their heads in unison, is an utterly mesmerizing sight.

Call me simple, call me Neanderthal... whatever. The simple fact is that I could watch that kicking line for hours :-)

Of course, I must not be alone, because they’ve been doing that kicking line thing for a very long time, and no one else seems to be getting tired of it either!

That whole place is amazing, My favorite public room in the world. The WurliTzer will blow your socks off when they hit the 64’ resultant!
