[edit] "Most-watched live show in the USA"
I thought I'd insert a comment here asking if anyone could perhaps make this more specific. "Live show" to me could include, among other things, Superbowl halftime. Perhaps this was one reason the article was recently source-flagged? --70.33.38.76 04:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Appropriateness of Picture
Is the picture here really appropriate? Notice the left (his left) arm of the sailor on the left (our left). It's pretty clear that he is feeling the behind of that rockette. Maybe it should be removed? KingOfAfrica 02:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Past Tense
Why is this article in the past tense? The Rockettes are still very much around in the present.
- It isn't past tense except where it has to be... Trekphiler 07:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- I originally made the comment about past tense when I was a "newbie" and didn't know about signing one's comments. I disagree, however, that the usage of past tense is "where it has to be." The sentence beginning, The Rockettes performed annually at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example, is in the past tense and there is no reason it should be. When I have a minute and am not so tired, I'll do a quick copy edit. David Hoag 03:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Best-known precision dance company in the world"
This was removed as a biased statement, but now that I really consider it, I don't think it is one. Can amyone name a precision dance company that's even one-tenth as known in the world today?--Pharos 14:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reaching new heights?
Can somebody confirm the min height req? I've seen 5'5.5" someplace.... Trekphiler 05:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Not all Rockettes are notable...for those that are at least a stub should be created first and then the name can be moved to the article. To have such a long string of red linked names does not look well on the page. The external links should be on the individual article pages, not in a list. Doc 06:15, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rockettes work year
The Rockettes women have performed 5 shows a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for more than 75 years.
I don't feel this is accurate. Several sources including this one from the NY Times state that although they have year-long health benefits, they only work steadily during the holidays. If I am wrong please correct me.
"This is high season for the Rockettes, three solid months of steady work, solid pay, grateful audiences and all the excitement of dancing in New York with a world-famous company. But it's also a time of gruelingly hard work, of seven dance numbers and six costume changes per show, as many as five shows in a 13-hour day, and as many as six days of work a week."
