Rockettes dancer: I would rather lose my job than dance for Trump

"I feel like dancing for Trump would be disrespecting the men and women who work with us, the people we care about," she said.

In the shows the group has performed since the announcement, Mary said there have been a lot of empty seats in the audience.

"There aren't usually empty seats the day before Christmas," she said.

She added: "Why would they want to pay $100+ for a ticket to support someone who doesn't support all human rights? Women's rights?"

The producers for the Rockettes said last week that the group's members won't be forced to perform at Trump's inauguration. Many groups have declined to perform at the event.

"If I had to lose my job over this, I would. It's too important," Mary told Marie Claire. "And I think the rest of the performing arts community would happily stand behind me."
