The Go Go dancers
Mar 2^nd, 2009 at 8:23am

For awhile go go dancers were kind of a rage....at least on 60's TV productions, and some clubs.

I don't recall any video clips where the Stones utilized the go go dancer.
Robert Palmer kinda took it to the next level, even though these models aren't techically go go dancers, it kinda amounts to the same thing.

In just about every rock & roll T.V. show in 64-66 period, there were always go go dancers (Shindig. Hullabaloo, Shivaree, etc) even when they were out of sync with the music, like go go dancers to the folk rock beat of the Byrds, which wasn't even dance music, Barry McGuire & so on, the T.A.M.I. show & the Big T.N.T. show also had it.

Can you make it 90 days?

No. That's the short answer.

Ouch!

Ginda who is Leda Edmunds Jr. ?

She used to be the main dancer on Hullabaloo, tumbled. Maybe it was Shindig. I tried to google her just to make sure I spelled her name correctly but no luck. Don't ask me how I remember her - must have been all the hours I spent flailing around in front of a full length mirror trying to duplicate her dance steps!
