The 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is going to have a little Dallas flair!
Dancers from Woodrow Wilson High School will be heading up to New York at the end of the month to perform in the parade, and it's the first time the school has ever been invited to do so!
The school will have 22 students going to the parade to dance in pom pom and jazz routines. Junior jazz dancer Alberto Perez told NBC DFW, "It does not happen every day, but you get used to saying, oh yeah, I'm gonna be in the Macy's Day Parade."
The students will spend a week in New York City in preparation. The kids will also get a chance to see Broadway shows and see the Rockettes perform
"They are going to not only be in the parade, but actually work with professionals that are in the industry right now," Woodrow Wilson High School Dance Department Director Marissa Marez said.
"I want them to dream big...shoot for the stars and thing big in anything that they do."
