Saw them being interviewed once years after they stopped dancing. They said that they were always arguing with the costume designers who were a little bit too ‘safe’. They themselves preferred the more revealing costumes such as the ones in this video. They were aware that they were in great shape and wanted to ‘show themselves off’. My kind of women !!

Flick Colby was a brilliant choreographer. Her routines could be so intricate. Having so many ideas where 5 or 6 dancers would dance different steps in such balanced, cohesive groupings is more impressive with each viewing.

[@johnlatham3854]

A sad note about the dance troupes is they were underpaid. Their pay didn't rise proportionally to their rise in popularity according to one of their interviews .

[@CosgroveNotts]

We are in fake days now. Class has been lost

[@SynphamyMusic]

"Elegant"... oh come on... They're wearing night dresses and sparkly pants, it's not THAT different besides it being in an era of different aesthetic trends. This is the 70's equivalent of whatever you think today's 'fake' is. The only reason women seemed 'classier' then is because there was no internet for them to post videos of themselves twerking for the world to see... You'd still see plenty of women with too much make up on and revealing clothing just as you do today. I mean, they're called Legs & Co for christ sake they knew that sex sells even in the 70s. Let's not keep harking back to this imaginary time when every woman was Audrey Hepburn because it's simply exaggerating through nostalgic goggles.

[@thepub245]

@@SynphamyMusic yeah, but it was done in a more tasteful, more innocent way in those days, less is more.

The seventies were half a century ago now. You seem surprised that time and tastes have moved on. It's what's been happening since the dawn of time. Everyone's era fades into the distant past. Let's be honest - thank God for it. In every era there are always some things which appear incredibly distasteful to those who come after. It's how we progress.

[@dannysmum9744]

@@s10m0t10n you have not defined "nobody"..or "lovely" ?? and there was offence caused to two opposing groups - the most sexually liberated and the most sexually repressed.. how Savile figures is that one implicit message of this part of the show is that women are nothing more than children there for the sexual delight of men..
