100 Years of the Rockettes!
Join in the festivities during an awe-inspiring live performance at the Christmas Spectacular, where the Radio City Rockettes showcase exceptional talent.
In 2025, the Rockettes are celebrating their 100th year as America’s longest-running precision dance company. Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, and later making their home in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, the Rockettes have a deep-rooted history. Starting with just sixteen women, the troop grew to a line of thirty-six. Radio City Music Hall has hosted the Rockettes since 1933 and has remained their home ever since. Your students will be transported back in time as they explore the historical landmark.
During the Christmas Spectacular, the Rockettes take center stage through iconic choreography, innovative technology, and show-stopping performances. Students will be captivated by beloved scenes like “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers”, which is the only number in the show to be unchanged and longstanding since the very first show. “New York at Christmas” features the Rockettes touring around New York City’s brightest landmarks in an iconic red open-top tour bus. Your students can explore the whole city with the Rockettes, while just sitting in their seat! A new number, “We Need A Little Christmas,” features holographic effects that allow Santa to interact with the performance, creating a truly magical moment full of holiday spirit. Each number holds awe and excitement that your students cannot miss!
The Rockettes have been part of Americana throughout their history: they were among the first entertainers to volunteer for the USO during WWII, entertaining troops both at home and abroad – a partnership that continued into the 2010s – and they have performed annually in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1957. Over the years, the Rockettes have starred in other original productions at Radio City – including a long running Easter Extravaganza, New York Spring Spectacular, and New York Spectacular. In 1988, the Rockettes performed in the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and the dance company has performed for multiple United States Presidents of both parties, including at two Presidential Inaugurations and other Presidential celebrations. For 20 years beginning in the mid-1990s, the Rockettes performed for more than 12 million people in 80 cities across North America with the touring production of the Christmas Spectacular.
