Sydney Mesher, 22, has to make two minor changes to her Rockettes performance due to her disability
“It was okay, because I got to go back and finish my college career. I graduated, and I was really focused. I wanted this to be my year,” she said.“It was a very challenging time, but that reignited my love for what I do because I wasn’t able to do it,” she said. After Mesher healed, she auditioned — and was finally selected — for the Rockettes in New York.
Due to her disability, Mesher has to hold the oversized box toy in the “Rag Dolls” dance from a different angle. And in the “Here Comes Santa Claus” number, she holds one bell in her right hand instead of one in each.RELATED VIDEO: The Radio City Rockettes Give a Master Class of Their Iconic High Kick!
“I have been completely baffled with the amount of support and love in getting the job,” she said. “The amount of love and excitement I have received has been so incredible. It’s been humbling to receive so much love.”
