A Rockette's Entire Routine, from Waking Up to Showtime | Allure

Radio City Rockette Mindy Moeller shares her entire daily routine as she prepares for the Christmas Spectacular-rolling out her muscles in the morning, tripling her hydration during the day, and taking care of her skin through it all. Mindy takes us backstage to show us how the Rockette's get in formation and prepare for their shows. She also reveals how the Rockette's do their own makeup, hairstyles and manage to pull off a 72 second wardrobe change between numbers.

You wouldn’t really care, you have other ambitions in life- but if it’s your whole life and it’s your career then you’d want to be the best you can and do everything you can to take hold of that position so you’d get super nervous because you wouldn’t want to fail and the thought of making a mistake and failing will bring you disappointment.

I love this little series. Allure finds the most articulate, naturally down to earth yet charismatic, interesting, accomplished, endearing and relatable women! A perfect blend of info on what their fascinating world is like, what it takes to be a professional in that world, beauty hacks, and just plain fun deets. Please keep these stories coming!

[@hipnhappenin]

Really endearing how she auditioned three times before getting into the company.

[@lilypendragon9937]

I feel like she’s the type of girl who says she’s “quirky”... and is actually a very interesting, charming, and hardworking person. She’s so likable and inspiring!

[@HulaQueen55]

the actual shade is called “always red” aka 01

[@fuenteskellin3052]

This woman is awesome. Her personality and outlook is so inspiring.

[@kathrynmccoy779]

I want to be friends with this girl. I love her energy😂😂

[@DiboraBinebeb]

"You gotta shake it first :D" "So I'm gonna shake it first :D" Oh wow I love her personality

[@liviamcintyre3189]

my dance coach was a rockette and every holiday season she teaches us some of the christmas spectacular so watching this is so cool

[@msfs19941]

"You need to be 5' 6" " Me: Omg I can be a Rockette! Doesn't acknowledge I'm British, unable to dance, extremely inflexible and have 2 slipped discs 😂😂😂😂

[@angiem2322]

Really minor part of the video but I love how she said lots of carbs and protein. There’s a lot of misconception that carbs are so bad for you and it’s just not healthy

[@CherryDiMilo]

@ロマン have you never heard of keto, low carb ? it's totally trendy to eat less carbs

[@angiem2322]

ロマン that’s good that they know that, but everyone I’ve talked to and a lot of influencers on KZbin and stuff say that carbs are bad for you and it leads young girls to think that they shouldn’t eat them :// even I was tricked by this at one point. Also don’t apologize it’s all good!

[@disappointment3090]

Angie M people don’t do keto because they think carbs are just soo bad for you, people tend to eat less carbs bc the less carbs you eat the more your appetite decreases so you will never really over eat in the future. So people who need to loose a significant amount of weight cut off carbs for that reason. Not bc they think it is bad for them.

[@angiem2322]

사탕사탕 no there is actually people who say that carbs are bad for you

[@angiem2322]

Y’all I’m not saying EVERYONE in the world thinks carbs are bad, but the people saying that no one thinks carbs are bad is just funny. There’s so many people that don’t eat carbs SPECIFICALLY because they think they are bad for you. I know a lot of people might lower their carb intake for different reasons, but there’s actually people who go on crazy diets and don’t eat carbs at all because they think they’re genuinely bad for you

[@lilly-lz4us]

Kudos to her! Imagine having to do 5 90 minutes shows everyday!

[@lindatannock]

No wonder there are people constantly getting injured! That's a crazy amount of hours for a dancer!

[@delphimichaels164]

lilly She never said five. She said as many as four shows. Which is still a lot.

[@esterteixeiravianna8378]

We have two casts so the rockettes don’t do all the 5 shows. When we do have 5 shows day, one group take 3 and the other 2

[@lindatannock]

@@esterteixeiravianna8378 ah, that makes sense, thank you! 💖

[@NaomiMJS]

She sounds like a really REALLY positive and super cheerful girl, it really amazes me 😮

[@annamageste]

I love this girl. She’s so bright and fun and talented! Exactly what I expected a rockette to be!

[@914dj]

This is my friend!!! Mindy, you’re so freaking cute!!! What a great interview. So stinking proud of you!!

[@xomarahdickison7567]

She's adorable! I'm so proud of her and I don't even know her.

[@ninguem8947]

'i love my cats but not at 5 in the morning' is such a MOOD

[@abbygish8061]

I’m a dancer and it is crazy how much stamina these people have to have.😯 So much respect!

[@babygoose8716]

I don’t drink 3 liters of water in a week 😳 Holy crap she is hydrated!

[@sigourneyivison7838]

Holy crap you're dehydrated!

[@kikiholland3695]

She might sweat a decent amount and is tall. Everyone has different water needs. Don't feel bad!

[@zolixdf]

You mean day not week

[@xanderx6185]

Girl it’s only a gallon.

[@taylorharvey6091]

Baby Goose she said day

[@bombygriz]

She’s been doing the show for 8 seasons yet she looks like my friends did in high school. All that routine is working, girl!

[@rubysvs5139]

Why does she look like the female version of skincare by Hyram

[@LolaBrown07]

I’m surprised there’s not more comments ab the Mario

[@HeyImMisterSimple]

Omg! I can't unsee!

[@jeana1235]

I was thinking that!!! Lol

[@mediocretriplethreat]

[@alicejones5312]

[@burrito1461]

She is such a sweet and energetic woman who seems so genuanly kind

[@CJ-mn6iw]

“My power source.” 😆😆but honestly this is so cool to see and she seems delightful.

[@AtomicCheri]

She's so adorable and delightful - and she didn't.give.up. I hope a lot of young girls see this talented woman and are inspired!! I'm an old lady, and heck, even I'm inspired!

[@maureentuohy8672]

For five years every time the Rocketts came to Chicago I would take my Mom to see it. She loved it. It was a wonderful shared time between us.

[@wynsipple3137]

She's adorable. Just love the cat ears headband that looks like one of her cats!

[@darkcatSmith]

She is so wonderful to watch, a genuinely happy person. She radiates joy like a human version of a golden retriever

[@ezwriter101]

She's so articulate, and seems to be a fun person too! Thanks for sharing! Loads of admiration for her motivation and drive!

[@lovelyrita8371]

She’s adorable! And so bubbly! I love her personality and she’s beautiful. I wish her many more years of success!!

[@FireCracker3240]

She is absolutely adorable. I love her personality. What a grueling routine, but her pride and love for what she does comes shining through.

[@saramm3381]

Her day is so interesting and cool! Imagine being the christmas spirit🎄

[@suneedee3376]

She reminds me of Rachel Ballinger for someone reason lol

[@RabbitFighter07]

Herroitsme_lauren_barrett ._. Yessssa that’s what I was thinking

[@Gonzagahistory102]

I agree

[@clairedelunefleurs]

YES

[@maggiepeterson7915]

SAME I was thinking that as I was reading your comment!

[@samt4423]

Same

[@GeneDangoMd]

No one directed this show better than Don Dimello. Man is a genius, his beauty and beast production is transcendental.

[@yvonnequinn8487]

My sister seen this before me and I literally did all my exercise for the year in running to my phone to see this.

[@Sherise2009]

Didn't realise how hard these ladies worked on and off the stage. Definitely looking forward even more now to see the show this Christmas.

[@mallymakings2853]

I absolutely love her energy, her confidence, her smile, humour, determination and grit. What a wonderful, strong, amazing woman. I’d love to be her friend.x

[@vickirosstudor490]

It’s so nice seeing people doing what they were born to do. Love her passion & energy ❤️

[@hannaruckman3009]

i feel like she looks like the actress that plays stephanie tanner in full house and fuller house. or maybe bridget mendler? kinda a mix between the two i guess

[@SarahLizDoan]

Hanna Ruckman Jodie Sweeten. She kind of sounds like her, too. Good observation!

[@bradwilliams6550]

That was actually way more interesting than I thought it would be.

[@kittyrodriguez7179]

She’s so cute!! Loved her personality and how she really shared with us the behind the scenes☺️ I’ve always wanted to see this show!!

[@gracegettes871]

Thanks so much for giving props to the Athletic Training staff! As an AT it means a lot to us and our whole profession to have our athletes take a second just to show appreciation!

[@mgwann]

She was truly adorable to watch and I watched it the whole way through because her charming and sincere personality really shined in this video!
