The iconic Radio City Rockettes are offering free, live dance lessons on their Instagram page to make seasons bright this holiday season during the coronavirus.
The classes will be held each Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET on Instagram Live through Dec. 23, Shape Magazine first reported.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"With everything going on in the world right now, it became apparent that we needed to throw a little holiday spirit into the social media world," Radio City Rockette Danelle Morgan told the magazine.
"It's been so rewarding that, despite not having the Christmas show this year, we've been able to bring some holiday cheer and joy to our fans," she added.

The lessons will begin with a 15-minute pre-choreography warmup led by a new Rockette each week. And don’t sweat it if you miss a virtual rehearsal – the dances will be saved on the Rockette’s official Instagram channel for fans to practice all season long.

Morgan says she and the fellow Rockettes plan to bring on the Christmas spirit despite being away from their holiday home at Radio City.
“Despite not being on stage this year, we've had that same feeling when we're on Instagram Live, and I hope that people experience some of that connection," she told Shape. "If at the end of the class, people are left feeling connected and uplifted, then I feel like it was a job well done — and I'm grateful for that."
