Florence Rogge

Florence Rogge (December 20, 1904 – October 26, 1992)[1] was an American dancer and choreographer, and artistic director of the Corps de Ballet at Radio City Music Hall from 1932 to 1952.

[2] Rogge ran a dance studio with Leon Leonidoff in the 1920s, and worked with him and Léonide Massine at the Roxy Theatre.

[7] Rogge was the artistic director and choreographer of the Corps de Ballet at Radio City Music Hall[8] from its inaugural program in 1932[9] into the 1950s.

[13][14] In 1933, the New York Times dance critic John Martin wrote that Rogge's "routines are distinctly of the 'commercial' type, amorphous and styleless.

[16] Al Hirschfeld drew Rogge at the control board of the Radio City Music Hall stage in 1940.
