IN BLANKSTARE NEWS: Short people have another reason to live

Short people have another reason to live … because they have a better chance at making it in the Rockettes! The iconic dance troupe, which has wowed millions over the years, is about to open up auditions for the 2022 Christmas Spectacular, with one change – a lower height requirement. The Rockettes have a window of acceptable heights so their routines look balanced onstage, but this year, they’ve dropped the low bar from 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-5. The tallest dancer will still check in at 5-foot-10-and-a-half. Think you've got what it takes? Register here. (AM New York)
