Flapper Dancers Ref: FD200211

These dancers kick the nineteen twenties into the Twenty Tenties with high-energy Charleston dance, full of humour, style and skill. Described as ‘Ginger Rogers on Acid’ these chic showgirls exude the quirky exoticism of an era when knees were VERY exciting. MARVEL! At moves to make your mother shimmy. GASP! At the Black Bottom (Dance made famous by Josephine Baker) DELIGHT! In the speed, sparkle and spectacle of these thoroughly modern Flappers.

Working together since 2004, they have become one of the UK festival and London
Cabaret scene’s most favoured regulars. They have performed in La Clique, The ICA, The Round House and shimmied on the stages of Dublin, Barcelona and Rome.

“They glide, they soar, they loop the loop – in a charming display of Twenties-style eccentric dance, The girls combine two enthusiasms of the decade, the charleston and aviation….they're a joyously comic duo who would have cheered up any vaudeville house in that period.”  The Independent

They specialise in vintage and eccentric dances from the 1920’s – 1940’s, reviving popular dance crazes and steps from the jazz age, then adding their own unique twist. Their successful appeal has evolved from their combination of exciting original music, fancy footwork and slick tandem choreography; always presented with delectable costumes and immaculate style.

Some of their most popular routines include:

The Charleston: A lively and characterful crowd pleaser full of competitive kicks and turns, claps and slaps!

Happy Feet: As Barn storming pilot's they 'loop the loop' in a way Busby Berkley would have directed; soaring effortlessly between classic chorus line and Lindy Hop.

Sailor: Jaunty sailors on shore leave. Captain and Cabin boy execute their eccentric choreographic drills for queen and country.

Bongo: A sultry and seductive homage to Josephine Baker, incorporating moves from the Black Bottom and drawing on the 1920's Hollywood fascination with the exotic.

Ha cha na: Based around the Shim Sham Shimmy (a popular 20's Jazz /Tap routine) to quirky music and kooky choreography to match.

Other themed routines include rootin tootin' cow girls, quick changing Russian dolls, a Halloween number and the Sand dance.

The duo's versatility means they occasionally work with male dance partners and they also have a chorus line of up to 12 flappers.

Usually  performing to CD they also relish the experience of working with live musicians and bands.
