Nice Job Dixie


I just want to say awesome job to Dixie and her saloon strip tease. My, my she is going to be smokin'. We had a lot of fun figuring her tease out, and have something very sexy!!! Have a great weekend ladies..... see you Sunday.

Oh- btw, the boogie music got figured out and hopefully we have the final draft by Sunday.

Love you all,

Vaudeville audio clips


Good morning everyone! Moxie here, reporting from a chair, nursing blisters and sore muscles. How about that jive, huh? And it's more than my right leg today. Ahhhhh, I love the burn! How is yours doing, Trixie?

Anyway, procrastinating again. Found a site with audio clips of famous Vaudevillians doing some of thier most famous acts. The format of the website is reeeeallly hokey, but I think you'll enjoy the clips!


Even More Reason to be Proud


I am once again flattered by the dedication and excitement that the whole V&V gang is showing. This jive number isn't for the weak!!! There is a lot of energy and quick, "happy feet" :)
We are all saying-"i didn't realize I even had that muscle"! Yikes!
GREAT JOB to everyone..... I am really proud. Remember to soak in epsom salt, have someone give you a killer massage(with coconut oil... it helps regenerate tissue), drink LOTS of water and stock up on vitamins-especially vitamin B.
I love all my kittens... again great job guys!

The Piccolinis can dance?


We had a conversation yesterday while taking a break from our Jive that is worth broadcasting to the world.


We had just gotten through a fast-paced section of choreography, and had been going on our third hour of rehearsal. We were getting tired, but there was nothing but smiles on everyone's faces, and everyone was ready to attack the next bit. Someone commented, (was it Kitty, Rocko, Vinny or Lucky?) that we were doing a darn good job. "Smokin'" may have aptly been one of the words used.


Then our fearless leader, Roxie, stepped up and said that while we have no intentions of becomming the next Hubbard Street Dance company, Vaudeville & Vixens is going to show our patrons that the Piccolinis can do more than stage a good laugh. (Although we're VERY good at that.) We can also get down! And make it look goooooooood.....


This is going to be fun.





This jive is jumpin'!

I thought the gams would hold up this time. I thought I was prepared. After tango and jive rehearsal yesterday I was feelin' pretty good and ready to keep dancing the night away (albeit in flats), but this morning my right leg for some reason is carrying the brunt of the work we did yesterday. I'll survive and rehearsal tonight will help loosen things up again.

I'm really excited about the jive. It's fast and fun and I'm hopin' Lefty and I can work in a lift. Even if we can't I'll enjoy the dance. Roxie really did it again this time. Fantastic!
