dancers in commercial
Back in 1993, I saw this commercial for TWA. It consisted of dancers. (The purpose was to point out more legroom.) Were the dancers Radio City Rockettes? Anyone know?2603:7000:8641:810E:A087:8C58:6DA1:3121 (talk) 03:40, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you have a NYT subscription (I don't) then the answer might be found in this 1993 business article: -- 136.54.106.120 (talk) 13:23, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I am a New York Times subscriber, and the only directly relevant sentence in that article is "Another commercial that is still in production will show a dancer performing high kicks in the added space.". Cullen328 (talk) 20:41, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * And I think 'dancer' (singular) is right. Cheaper than hiring a troupe, and guaranteed to be synchronised by the magic of post-production. -- Verbarson talkedits 23:06, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. Only one dancer performed, and was transformed into several by the special effects technology widely available 30 years ago. Cullen328 (talk) 23:47, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
