Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, which every Rockette
since 1933 has performed. e toy soldier fall is not
only a classic moment in the show, but also an extremely
well-executed example of the precision dance style and
attention to detail needed to put on a performance of
this caliber.
"It's the first thing that people think of when they think
of the Rockettes," Tubridy explained about the dance
number. "It's always a pinch me moment."
Being a Rockette for the past nineteen years, Tara
Tubridy has shown a tremendous display of hard work,
persistence, and true love for the tradition of the Radio
City Christmas Spectacular. e Christmas Spectacular
has an attendance of over a million visitors each year,
making it a truly coveted piece of the holiday season in
America and it is important to recognize the intense
work and talent of the dancers who make each move
seem so effortless.
e Radio City Christmas Spectacular runs from
November 8 – January 5 with two to four incredible
shows each day. Visit rockettes.com for information on
