Interrupted Postings

I will be able to post only sporadically for the next few weeks, if at all.  I invite other members to take up the slack.  BB

Decobelles

You'll recognize some familar faces in these photos of the Decobelles, including Cindy Lu (Jasmine D. Light), Elizabeth Rislove Etler, Barbara Pond and Monica Lenk of LCCB.  

The Decobelles are "a group of dancers/models who bring to life the era of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s with performances in the "Busby Berkeley Style" of tap dance, swing dance, and charleston. There are 24 Decobelles currently featured!"

While, as their description and the last photo indicate, they are primarily focused on other dance styles, they have ventued into the cancan.

You can see more about them and more cancan photos at their Facebook page:

Saucy Tarts

 

 

 

The Saucy Tarts were indeed delightful at the Day of Delight, Dufferin Grove Park, Toronto, on June 2011.  From the Tumblr blog of Kabeliya:

The Saucy Tarts' Facebook page (last updated in 2011) is:

Sadly, the lack of recent activity makes it appear that the Saucy Tarts may have disbanded.  Toronto's loss is ours also.

 

A retrospective:

Gracie Vlkos Remembered

A new set of photos of the Czech group, Gracie Vlkos, has surfaced.   You can see them at the Mirazvuk.wz.cz site.  The photos are from a 2010 performance at an event called Exploze Rock.

http://www.mirazvuk.wz.cz/2010/09_18/index.htm
(The cancan photos are on the first page; photos from a routine in shorter skirts start on page 3)

I am afraid Gracie Vlkos may be no more.  Their website has gone dark, and their Facebook page has not been updated for a couple of years.  That's a shame.  I really liked their costumes and had hoped to see many more performances.

For a trip down memory lane:
