The Rockettes are a precision dance company, whose home is the Radio City Music Hall located in New York City. The Rockettes are responsible for bringing fans to their shows for more than 50 years. The Rockettes were originally comprised of 16 women and now the popular kick line has 36 members. They are known for their festive and showy holiday costumes. Little girls dream of being a Rockette when they grow up. They also have a special group that tours around the country at holiday time and every show is a total sellout. The girls range in height from 5'6" to 5'10 1/2" and the choreographer arranges them from the tall girls in the middle to the shorter girls on the end of the kick line.

The Radio City Christmas Music Spectacular which is held at Radio City Music Hall and recorded for television is the most popular television show annually in the United States. This show is usually shown at Thanksgiving, the start of the Christmas season. The Rockettes proudly bring in 2.1 million fans annually for their performances. The Rockettes are also famous for literally "kicking off" product lines for companies like McDonalds, Honda, and Oldsmobile. They have also been guests at the Super Bowl and George Bush's inauguration in 2001. They tend to bring smiles to all their fans faces as they are truly breathtaking to watch.

A few historical facts about the Rockettes are that the group was initiated by a man named Russell Market in 1925 in St. Louis Missouri. They were first called the Missouri Rockets. In 1927, Mr. Samuel Roxy Rothafel was so impressed with them and he brought them to New York City to perform. Apparently, they took over the Zigfield Follies when they came to New York. Another interesting tidbit is that they were originally called the Roxyettes because they performed in Mr. Rothafel's Roxy Theater. During World War II, they brightened up the holidays for servicemen by being a part of the USO tours. Sadly, blacks were not allowed into the dance line until 1987. The only justification for this meaningless policy was that black dancers would distract from the similar look of the dance group. The oldest living member of the original Rockettes is now 95 and lives in Toronto, Canda.

Alberta Leads the Way from R&D to Application

The Calgary Council for Advanced Technology is presenting an exciting and informative breakfast event featuring presentations by Dr. John Wolodko, Program Leader for the Alberta Research Council’s (ARC) Polymer and Composites Group and Nathan Armstrong, President of Motive Industries.
Bio-composite materials promise to bring stronger, greener products to a wide range of industries, but what exactly are these materials? What makes them so strong? What makes them so green? Who is really going to use them?
Dr. Wolodko’s group at ARC is leading some of the most advanced research and development being done in this area. With a recent investment of $15M, the Alberta Biomaterials Development Centre is positioned to keep Alberta at the forefront of this exciting industry for years to come.
Calgary’s Motive Industries is applying this research to solve one of the biggest challenges we have in the 21st Century: How do we Green the Automotive Industry? With experience designing and engineering vehicles for names like Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, and Toyota, Nathan Armstrong understands the needs of this industry and how biocomposite materials are a game-changing technology.
Come out to hear these speakers share their leading-edge knowledge on this new, exciting industry. This event is put on in partnership with the Alberta Research Council.
