Name of the song?
Wow. What a performance!!
Wow, fantastic, you ladies! So glad you posted this clip!!!
Aw.. Thanks so much! Hard to find clips of us performing in the 90’s :)
This was a fun short show. HUGE HIT 🤣
@@LainieSaka you look beautiful!
@@pgoodman7662 you look super hot! I bet it was a huge hit!
@@LainieSaka you are so gorgeous. I hope you find more clips!!!
So good. I can't remember but maybe you do. did Elizabeth kick both legs during the hitch kicks of this number?
Phenomenal!!! Thank you.
Her abs are outrageous
Amazing xxx
Thank you so much!! xo
The dancers can't get a credit?
Oh what happened to Christopher? So sad, rip xx
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cute and jaunty. Too bad the lighting was so dark. As this clearly is an archival dance to come out of the vaults and filmed. It’s creepy how show biz in the USA just keeps stepping on it’s history.
That's the Teaberry Hop song! Though I doubt anyone else remembers that old gum commercial. Damn I'm old. ~sigh~
I remember it as the “tea berry tango!”
Actually this was the Mexican shuffle by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. It was used for the tea because of the light tempo.

You are super talented-- you move like liquid.
Thank you for your kind complement!
Makes me think Sullivan demanded the Technicolor lightness. This mucho 'dark' version seems truer to the original intent. Beautiful, anyway
Gwen has a "hard body" during an era women dancers did not usually have them.
Wonderful!! You guys are amazing!!
Ay! Caramba!
Thank you for this - your talent is huge!
Leave em wanting more
I'd like to see you in Chicago as either Roxie or Velma! Ethnicity doesn't matter.
That would be a lot of fun!
The best I’ve ever seen this solo done. Brava!
Thank you for you kind complement!
You can find this on RUclips with Gwen dancing too.
Amazing! Both versions!
Is that Sean Palmer and Alex Sanchez?
That J.P Christensen with Alex Sanchez.
Espectacular!
GAH! LOOOOOVE!
Thank you so much!🥰
My spirit overflows watching this, my eyes are full, in tears. So delicate, so out of reach. Magical realism realized.
Thank you for your very kind words.
Yup! Had tears watching this too. <3
@@Bearski90 Aw.. Thank you so much!
So fabulous.
Thank you!!🥰
Faaaaaabulous performance!
Thank you so much!!☺️
Yaaaaaaaaaassssssss Queeeeeen!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t beat the Trumpet Solo😍
Thank you😊
I’m so glad this was filmed - I remember hearing it had been staged all those years ago, in memoriam. Beautifully filmed too - you can catch every nuance.
YES!!!! Fantastic!
Thank you!!
