The Tranky Doo is a vintage routine that was choreographed by Frankie Manning in the 1940s, and is done by Lindy Hoppers all over the world. However, the version that dancers do today is not what Frankie choreographed, and the various discrepancies between all of the video versions - to me - makes this dance exciting and mysterious! In this video, we'll talk about the inspiration for the Tranky Doo (chorus girls), some of the original versions (Love & Syncopation by Tops and Wilda and the Spirit Moves by Leon James, Pepsi Bethel, and Al Minns), as well as some of the choices that we make today.
