The Actionettes are an all-female 60s dance troupe. We choreograph our own synchronised routines to songs by 60s girl groups, such as the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes, the Marvelettes, and other 60s icons such as Nancy Sinatra and Dusty Springfield.
We're London-based (although we have danced all over the UK and in Europe too!) and dance with sparkle and panache at clubs, events, with bands (including seminal 60s acts The Monks, The Creation & Arthur Lee & Love), and at our own club.
We're 'strictly amateur' - no one has experience in dance, except for years on the dance floor every Saturday night.
If you'd like us to come and dance at your event, then get in touch...
