	The Rockettes Summary
		In 1937 the Rockettes were invited to represent the United States in an international dance festival at the Paris Exposition and won the grand prize.
		As director of the Rockettes from their inception until his retirement in 1971, Markert was criticized for his "whites only" hiring policy, but defended his actions by claiming that visual harmony is the backbone of precision dancing, explaining that he didn't even allow his Rockettes to get suntanned.
		Though the Rockettes have been elaborately costumed over the years as various characters, from cowgirls, poodles, and daffodils, to West Point cadets and astronauts, their routines are choreographically predictable, consisting of a series of tap-danced military drill formations and an obligatory kick-line finale.

		In August 2002, the remaining Rockettes were bought out of their contracts; they’re now hired from project to project.

		Radio City Rockette -- like astronaut, president, Supreme Court justice, or TV weatherman -- would seem to be one of those rarefied, nice-work-if-you-can-get-it kind of gigs that promise enormous fame and fortune and no apparent downsides.
		But it turns out there are some less-than-ideal aspects to being a Rockette: For starters, the pay's lousy and the schedule stinks.
		DeCapua points out that the Rockettes generate enormous sums for Cablevision -- the Christmas spectacular is the biggest live show in the nation, seen by more than 2 million people annually at Radio City and in touring events.

		For the past 75 years, the Radio City Rockettes have been entertaining audiences with their precision dancing, dazzling smiles and, of course, their impossibly long, shapely gams.

		Two entire touring companies of Rockettes - with 44 dancers, 54 ensemble members, and more than 60 production and creative personnel - have spent the last four weeks rehearsing here for their annual holiday show, "The Radio City Christmas Spectacular," which will be staged in Columbus this year for the first time.
		The Rockettes live Christmas show features dazzling lighting, scenery, and costumes, and includes teddy bears, wooden soldiers, flying reindeer, live animals, and, of course, Santa Claus himself.
		The dancers have performed at Radio City ever since then, and the illusion that they're all the same height is still maintained the same way: by putting the tallest dancers at the center of the line and gradually decreasing the height, with the shortest women at either end.
