Sydney Mesher, born without her left hand, is making history as their first dancer in 91 years with a visible disability, boldly living her dreams.
The Radio City Rockettes have dazzled Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade crowds since 1957. "I was born without my left hand, and I am the only one in the line who had a disability at the time. And I am very grateful to be standing here and to show that performers of all different backgrounds can be represented as Radio City Rockettes."The 27-year-old is reshaping the perception of the word disability.
"I've just worked hard my entire life so that I could be comfortable and confident in my training so that when I am on stage performing that no matter what people notice, if it's my hair color or if it's my hand, they're impressed with what I'm doing with my body."It takes confidence, drive, and speed to be a famous Radio City Rockette. The fastest change is 78 seconds. Sydney says The Radio City Team has been very accommodating.
