I've just been watching a few Soul Train clips on Youtube, and those dancers had great, energetic moves: the likes of which you'd rarely see on a dancefloor nowadays.
Think my favourites are Jody Watley and her musical partner (and Moonwalker) Jeffrey Daniel, both later of Shalamar. Their fun routines remind me of the nonsense myself and my lady friends used to pull on floors in our dancing days in the 90s!
Completely different genre/culture but same sort of time: Hawkwind's dancer Stacia is also wonderfully memorable (and nuts!)
Anyway which dancers, of any style, have left a lasting impression on you?
Cheers,
DW
