Dancers Get Kick Out of Rockette Lesson

Miss Colleen's Elite Dancenter class will compete for special workshop and tour at Radio City.

Young dancers at Miss Colleen's Elite Dancenter got a kick out of a special class taught by two Rockettes.

Kristin Altfather and Kara Dunleavy, Rockettes hailing from Long Beach, led a class of dancers through the routine for the show's famed "Let Christmas Shine" number.

"It's great for us to come and teach the kids and dance with them," said Dunleavy. "And we know that the kids love it as much as we do so we just had a blast."
