This troop is still performing. I saw them a few months ago at Rhode Island College, part of the Performing Arts Series. They were every bit as good as you see here, though since this was filmed in '75, I doubt I saw any of these dancers. The only bad part was the use of canned music. Sigh.

More than just energetic - limber, co-ordinated, good balance and good-looking.

It's fun to watch, but I'm beginning to wonder. What shape are their knee and hip joints in by age 45? Especially for the men?
