Episode 66
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
Send a textPeople know the kicks. The costumes. The Christmas magic.But they don’t always know what it cost to stand on that line — and what it takes to stay whole after you do.This week on Back to Pop, we sit down with Jennifer Jones — history-maker, dancer, author, and survivor — who became the first Black Rockette at Radio City Music Hall in 1987. What followed wasn’t just applause. It was pressure, resistance, representation, and a level of scrutiny few could imagine.Jennifer opens up about:• The audition room where courage mattered as much as choreography• Becoming “the first” in an institution built on uniformity• Hate mail, historic milestones, and finding out through the news• Performing at Super Bowl XXII and on Broadway in 42nd Street• The physical reality behind “precision”• And surviving stage III colon cancer — and choosing to live differently afterwardWe talk about her children’s book On the Line, her powerful memoir pulling back the velvet curtain, and what legacy really means when your body, your art, and your identity have all been tested.This isn’t just a story about breaking barriers.It’s about what happens after you do.Jennifer is also being honored in the All-Star History Exhibit on February 19 and recognized at the Museum of Broadway on February 22 — and we discuss what those milestones mean in the context of her full journey.If you’ve ever stood in a room wondering whether you belong — this conversation is for you.🎧 Listen now.For colorectal cancer screening guidelines, visit the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force: https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.orgSupport dancers facing cancer through I’m A Dancer Against Cancer: https://imadanceragainstcancer.orgTheme music composed by Ron Wasserman Audio composed and edited by Lauren M.
