Who or what influences the BCB style of dance and costume?
Our style has always been, obviously, influenced heavily by 1960s pop culture. We used to spend hours watching old episodes of Hullaballo, Shindig, Laugh-In and Soul Train, trying to perfect these dance moves to a tee. Since go-go originated during that time period, our style embraces these roots while also adopting a modern, rocknroll flare. Since we dance with anyone from 80s DJs to 60s soul bands, our style has to be diverse and adaptable. We will always have a slice of original go-go accoutrement though, our white go-go boots are never left behind. While the original Shindig dancers never had fully tattooed backs, for instance, we merely see this as a contemporary evolution of an old style. Our style is a hybrid — a juxtaposition of the 60s youth culture with the contemporary youth culture. What’s your dream gig? Our dream gig? Well, that would have to be dancing with any of the following: — The Stones, we wish we got to them 40 years earlier, but we’d still be stoked — Any former
