@Rahyne Dancer You can certainly get a lot more flexible than your starting point in a week if you begin by barely being able to touch your toes. However, if you are nowhere near the splits, the majority of adults can not gain that in a week without potentially hurting themselves. Major muscle lengthening does not happen super quickly, as it's many cycles of thousands of microtears in the muscle followed by healing. And if you try to overdo it to get flexible more quickly, you don't allow time for that healing process
It makes me laugh how the interviewer is trying to get them to basically saying they exercise excessively and restrict and calories to have their legs and they're just like nah we fit
@@TheNonMakeupGuru not actually. Their leg train is specific for what they are going to do which is different from intense leg workout. Soccer leg train is for one thing, ballet leg train for another, popping dance for another and leg builking for another
When I Was a little girl in the 1950s five years old my dad played cards at the casino and I would sit in the theatre and watch the workouts. I was forever facinated with the Rockettes.
Sarah C. I know. It would be like her saying, it's a good job you guys are white otherwise they wouldn't have let you join. Which would also be true. As the Rockettes don't accept black dancers.
@@RB747domme now they do. There have been black rockettes since 80s when they racist policy ended. However, I'm sure the orgnaization is still alittle racist bc they only have 1 ir 2 minorities.
@@user-52z1 it isn't necessarily racist to have a low number of black dancers. Numerous girls try out, girls from prior seasons are more likely to get alot of those slots, not many black girls audition. It would end up with not having many in the end. They can't let people through the cracks to be politically correct. Everyone that makes it has to earn it.
@@lay-dee I’m not saying it is racist bc there is a low amount of black girls. But back then no matter the talent of the girl they only wanted white women. That is racist to not even have a shot bc of skin color.
How long can one stay with the group, do you know? I mean, 5 years max, maybe? And what about "During the Christmas season, the Rockettes present five shows a day, seven days a week." (From Wikipedia, not sure if that’s correct of course.)
I wish I could just grow 6 inches overnight. I can never be a Rockette because of that damn height cut off. But I can dance just as good as any of them.
Going up and down stairs you achieve a similar development. I have recommended this exercise for years and have seen the results over and over again. All you have to do is go up and down a flight of five or six steps for 6 to 10 minutes. Three sessions a week are enough. In just three or four sessions, the legs begin to form. In three weeks, the results are spectacular. Guaranteed (and highly recommended for any sport). It is best to alternate going up two steps at a time and one at a time.
I have said this before but I am very Proud to say that Two of my Aunt's were part of the Troup KNOWN as The TILLER Girls in the Early 40's. Very "Proud
I was in a play and boy oh boy the quick changes were like FAM TOSS ME THAT DANCE SHOE!! and then someone would be like BUT THATS KARMEN'S SHOE!! Me: WE HAVE TWO MINUTES AND YOUR WORRIED ABOUT WHOS SHOE THIS IS?! HAND ME THE FRICKIN SHOE!
Two minutes for a fast change? Fam that's not even fast Plus you don't just take other people's shoes. It's their shoes! Can you keep track of your own shoes? What if someone else's shoes are the wrong size? What if they need them? What if they have athlete's foot or something? What if they're the wrong shoe entirely? Why would you do that?
The reporter woman doesn’t realize she looked EVERY BIT as professional doing those strut kicks as the two Rockettes. She has the body, the poise, and she’s just as pretty. It looked like 3 Rockettes dancing. I bet she went home, saw the tape and kicked herself for being so self-deprecating during the interview. She could totally do it in a pinch.
Ooo.Bowling, Dancing, skating is a great way to stay in shape. All sizes and talented ages. Improvise to Perfection. It's a model. A show like this can be tweeked! Make it your own😃🌠
I almost got into the Rockettes, years ago when I lived in NYC. Very tough selection process. Even IF you meet the criteria and have the talent/skills, you can still get a “no”. My psoriasis kept me out...I still enjoyed the audition process/attempt. No regrets.
Katherine Severiche my skin has these hideous outbreaks, especially when I over exert myself with intense physical activity. I end up looking like “The Thing” from Fantastic Four when it gets really bad. But thank you.

What’s with these questions... they’re so degrading. Like, they’re asking what the Rockettes do as workouts and how many calories? they a day. I don’t know, they DANCE hard core for a living?! They don’t have time to track how much calories are in their chicken. I would never make my interviewees do push ups in front of me. Come on WSJ, you can do better than that. Show some respect for the dancers.
I have done dance since I was 2 and I have always wanted to becoming a Rockette. Unfortunately I will never be able to live that dream because I'm only 5'5
Saw this show today. Absolutely wonderful! But take my advice, if you cant get the front orchestra, sit in the top balcony. Half the show is on the walls
thara v well, as long as you're tall enough, slim enough, and a good enough dancer then you have a chance! As long as you're white. They don't accept black dancers.
I always wanted to see the legs in action, they have some of the prettiest legs I ever seen, wished I could afford tickets this season for when they bring those pretty legs to Georgia. Them Big Uptown New York City Girls makes this backwoods country boys mouth water.
Amen to that, man! I've lived here in GA all of my life and would give anything to see these beautiful gals in person. Hell if one even approached me I might faint.
An amazing reality TV show would be the rockettes training and stuff no drama (in less it real) not scripted stuff or any thing like that just the rockettes being there normal selves ( yes I know most people will think this is a bad idea
When you find out they’re never leaning on each other for support and togetherness at all... that just made everything ten times harder for what I thought they did already and somehow a little disappointing for some reason lol..?
Karen Ritchie y Taylor Simko, dos integrantes de Las Rockettes, alternan con la periodista Wendy Bounds sobre su condición física, cómo cuidan sus piernas, cómo se mantienen en forma para desempeñarse a fondo, cuál es su estatura límite, y en medio de la entrevista, le facilitan un par de zapatos para que las acompañe haciendo una rutina básica, haciendo flexiones y unas cuantas patadas al frente.
It’s disappointing that there’s a minimum height requirement... I mean, if you are overweight, you can diet... but, if you are short, you are fucked basically.

It’s not a workout to get the legs. You dance for years to get the legs. Same goes for being flexible.
True

@Rahyne Dancer Very true. In youth you can get away with a lot more haha
llallogen rest is so important even with stretching. People don’t realize it

olivia player I
Lol
Well she's stupid cus they are dancers not models. Dancing is a workout.
pretty unprofessional of her to push her narrative on to them
ikr!!
Getting legs like that can’t be achieved in a gym, dancing is basically the only way
not actually true. you can very much get legs like that with any lower body intensive sport

When you can't be a Rockette because your too tall :/

Cool

You can dance for other studios, the Rockettes may not cut it for you but try out for musicals, keep dancing, superstar!🎼
5'6
Sam Hackenson how tall do you need to be?
Sam Hackenson nevermind
Me: I wish I was a Rockette
Also me: 4'11
Thank you thank you thank you Rockettes for having beauty, grace and humanity in this day and age.
But the one on the left is shorter...?
luhole it was probably just the camera angle
She’s probably 5’6” exactly
The tallest are in the middle, then the shorter ones are in the end

Shilvio D. Linton Go for it! If you can dance why not! What a thrill..... New York.....
Aww, I can’t be a Rockette due to that stupid height restriction. *sigh*
Forgot to mention the stage " doesn't give " it's hard as a rock,that's why dancers have the best legs. Nice behind the scene.
They're too cute 😊

RELATABLE!!! NO TIME TO WASTE IN A CROWDED DRESSING ROOM
I’ve always wanted to be a rockette but my family can’t afford dance classes
I want to be a dancer on Broadway and this is a huge problem.
Practicing with a friend could also help as a start? good luck^^
Imagine being so good at tap jaz and ballet but be too short. Training ur whole life and realising ur too short
Thanks for sharing your experience and excellent comment 🙏
When ur a dancer but ur tragically 5’0”😭
Ew that interviewer was so horrible, asking about shaving and calories?
Ragga
How is that horrible
Ragga everyone wants to know, it's her job
That's not horrible. They're dancers who are specifically known for their legs.
How!
Ragga ?? She’s a interviewer that’s her job, stupid.
It is 2021, and I am honoured to have known a Rockette; RIP Anne.
Those push ups are on point!!!

agreed lol...you would think as a reporter shed be more personable
