KICKIN' IT
This holiday season, Luxottica teamed with The Rockettes to teach some lucky editors a lesson in high kicks and meticulously coordinated dance moves. On one of the chilliest evenings yet, nearly 50 members of the press gathered with workout gear and a sparing save-the-date at Radio City Music Hall. We were led to its core through a maze up stairways and down halls to find the Rockettes' personal dance studio, usually slated year-round for arduous auditions, stage rehearsals and parade practice. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, we were treated to an energizing adventure, lined up to begin our lesson and introduced to the two talented Rockettes responsible for our glimpse at a day-and-dance-in-their-life. We moved as a mammoth group, learning synchronized steps from a few of their famous numbers. We were also afforded behind-the-scenes stories of teamwork and dedication while enjoying the festive setup, surrounded by gift-wrapped décor and a display of some of this season's handpicked sunwear from Sunglass Hut. The showcase of top holiday styles and immersion in an 81-year-long holiday tradition put a sunny glow on a holiday season already merry and bright.
