As someone who grew up dancing I would always watch the Rockettes and always be truly mesmerized by the high kicks and perfect unison. It wasn't until later that I learned all that went into creating the uniform look behind the scenes. The idea to create perfectly custom costumes allowing each dancer to appear practically the same height is a feat within itself. But it also makes me wonder what would happen if a dress ripped or became damaged before a performance? Would the company keep replicas of each dancer's dress for each number or are they able to create a dress that might not be perfect but will maintain the illusion and could be used by multiple dancers in the company? Either way it is a feat that the wardrobe crew is able to manage and maintain the forever iconic look that the Rockettes have created over the years.
