    I saw this back in the 80s for the first time as a child, and it still fascinates me. After years of videos from Madonna, Michael/Janet Jackson, Britney, Beyonce, various ballet, what have you, I think this is still my favorite 3-4 minutes of dance. It's camp and artsy and minimalist while still being infectious and fun. It is completely unconcerned by vanity or the need for sexiness. It feels youthful and unpracticed yet somehow polished and sophisticated and extremely precise. Timeless.

      Maybe you might kind if agree that the 80s was also better morally socially in that people didnt intimidate or taje advantage of people since now in small city CA it sucks . Selfishness like it's a new virtue now set in every aspect of life . That anyone needs a little boost they are hard to find it . If you now live in a nice neighborhood you do see much good I assume , but for me thar was becoming the good ole days of actually before even 2019 and further way back . During Covid things went south and being respectful to another is like gone almost . Like if the bad ones win the day . Sorty for the pessimistic words but I meant as a observation. I blame the overall government for the messes today deliberately likely allowed to kill neighborly mutual concern .

      Overall the 80s was better than today also as in morality of trusting between people and treating people right and honorable since today city life at least in snall town CA is like a prison system in the way do not care about the worth or full wellbeing of their fellow citizens. People actually think that today is way better like a social utopia ??

    She's mostly a choreographer now.
    She was one of the founding members of The Lockers, a street dance group who opened for acts like Frank Sinatra and Funkadelic. In the mid-'60s, she started doing choreography for film, TV, and music videos-work she continues to today. She Sang "Mickey" 41 Years Ago. See Toni Basil Now at 78.
