Rockettes chairman encourages concerned dancers to be 'tolerant of intolerance'

Who knew that the New York City Rockettes would become one of American culture's loudest (and most sequined) voices of dissent?

Just prior to Christmas, several of the dancers came forward with concerns about being forced to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration. Though Madison Square Garden Company, who produces the Rockettes, later clarified that the dancers would not be required to perform, the company's executive chairman, James Dolan, recently spoke to concerned dancers and encouraged them to be more "tolerant," according to an exclusive published by Marie Claire.
