The Rockettes Didn't Do Their Classic Kick Line During Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade & Social Media Is Reacting!

The Rockettes are going viral on social media – but it’s because of something they didn’t do!

The legendary dance troupe performed during the 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday (November 26) in New York City. However, a frenzy soon kicked off on social media once viewers realized they never did their classic kick line!

Their performance likely had to do with the pandemic: “Our kick lines look the same, but we are doing them socially distanced,” Rockette Maranda LeBar told Curbed earlier in the week.

“We’ve actually had Zoom meetings just to catch up, see what’s going on. You know, all 80 of us on the Zoom call.”

“The @Rockettes didn’t do their legendary kicks so I….Very precise. Beautiful costumes. #MacysParade,” wrote April Reign.

“Leave it to the 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to have the world famous kicking line of the @Rockettes, not kick during their performance. The year that keeps ruining everything. Hysterical,” added another user.

Still, plenty of social media users praised the performance and pointed out that they still pulled out a fantastic performance given the circumstances.

“The Rockettes were amazing! I know they didn’t do the famous kick line, but the drill was PERFECTLY done and incredibly difficult!!” added NBC’s JC Monahan.
