Show Description
We are tap/ballroom dancers paying tribute to performers such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland and Gene Kelly. In addition we are a modern tap dance act. We are perfect for corporate, dinner and commercial events, private parties and vintage commemorative events at which we are at ease performing and teaching / leading demonstrations. We are ESPECIALLY KEEN to perform on board ship and regard ourselves as an ideal act in such a ballroom setting. We feature in our acts the music and dance from the ragtime jazz era, swing era and the 1960s. For example, we have a ... set that features the music from the musical Easter Parade and films such as Cabaret, Sweet Charity and Chicago. We also sing with particular reference to the standard classics from the Hollywood era.
