Lovely
Great photo!!! Sad to say, but 20+ years later our gym uniforms looked exactly like these - in a lovely, bright green!!! I would love to know if any of these girls went on to dance professionally. They seem very serious in their endeavors!
Sideways girl
The sideways girl seems to have had some training in ballet as well as in boogie and woogie. She's quite graceful with her out-turned right foot and pointed toe as well as her uplifted left arm and dropped wrist. I like how they are all dancing interactively. I would LOVE to know what they were listening to... Maybe the Duke?
