Rockette Holiday Kickline: A Christmas Spectacular
Step into the world of the famous Radio City Rockettes with this high-energy, holiday-inspired workshop! Over the course of 3 weeks, you’ll learn Rockette-style choreography, a unique blend of jazz dance that emphasizes precision, uniformity, and high kicks. Unlike regular jazz dancing, which can be more fluid and improvisational, the Rockette style focuses on sharp, synchronized movements, often performed in large groups to create the iconic "kickline" effect.
Set to festive Christmas tunes, this workshop is perfect for those looking to master the technicality and precision of Rockette jazz, all while adding some holiday sparkle to their season. No prior experience needed — just bring your holiday spirit and your best kicks!
