Well, I am in the correct height range. Age, weight, fitness, and dance training … nope, nope, nope, and nope. Oh well. 😉 ---

That’s really neat! My high school director/choreographer was a Rockette, and her assistant was always careful to point out to us that at 67 years old and 250 pounds and arthritic knees that hadn’t done a high kick in 20 years, she was a Rockette, not a \*former \*Rockette. Once a Rockette, always a Rockette! I can’t imagine [Mrs. Harley](http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/flaminghippie/?action=view¤t=zzMrs.jpg) doing a high kick to save her life, but if her strength of personality and will was any indication, those ladies are formidable! ---

Every season turn turn kick. Sorry, that’s all I have to offer. ---

I’m pretty sure all stories about the Rocketts are fun. They never break out of their cage and eat a tourist. ---

Read a story about someone who always regretted not going with a friend who insisted on going to a Rockette’s audition. Neither of them danced a lick but the friend went anyway just for the fun and bragging rights of saying she once tried out for the Rockettes. ---

I always thought I was too short to be a Rockette… (I’m too fat, too. but too short is a valid, nothing I can do about it, excuse.) And I could kick when I was the right age. Seriously kick. Maybe it’s Vegas showgirl that I’m too short for. Rockette fantasy camp would be fun… pity they don’t have one for grown non-dancing women (the way they have sports fantasy camps for grown, non-athletic sports fans.) ---
