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...
The BellRays headline a night of maximum rock'n'soul on Thursday next
week at The Borderline with Los Chicos and King Salami & The
Cumberland 3 playing live and Corn Rocket Club DJs on the wheels of
steel.

"This
is a band to watch. The charismatic lead singer Isabel Lindqwister is a
gospel choir bird and a jazz dive diva from Stockholm. The band is a
Stockholm-Paris musical commute. It’s not really garage. It’s
not blues. It’s a great postmodern pastiche that is clearly influenced
by the mods. Lindqwister, a Swede in Paris, has a bluesy soulful voice
that recalls Kelly Hogan and The Detroit Cobras in contemporary indie
settings. Like the main act that followed her, Linqwister’s stage
presence competes with her extraordinary vocals. www.blog
