Identical twins Caitlin and Courtney Sullivan are Radio City Rockettes performing together in this year’s traditional holiday show in New York. Watch an in-depth video about their Rutgers roots and their rise to the Rockettes.

Caitlin and Courtney Sullivan leapt to the top of the dance world as members of the Radio City Rockettes in 2023. The Sullivan Twins, as they are professionally known, are performing as members of the 91st edition of the Rockettes world-famous Christmas Spectacular, which runs through January 5.

The Ridgewood, New Jersey natives earned undergraduate degrees in psychology from the Rutgers–New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences while competing for four years on the Scarlet Knights Dance Team. They remain involved with the dance team, mentoring and coaching the current squad. 

“The Rutgers dance team really shaped us and was such an important part of our college years, and we still credit them for so much—for helping us get to where we are today,” Caitlin says.
