Step into the dazzling world of early 20th-century stage performance and explore the remarkable dance career of Doris Eaton, one of the youngest Ziegfeld Girls. Beginning her career as a teenager in the famed Ziegfeld Follies, Eaton quickly rose as a standout chorus dancer, known for her elegance, precision, and commanding stage presence during Broadway’s golden era.
In this workshop, participants will explore movement inspired by the choreography and style of the Ziegfeld Follies, focusing on classic showgirl technique, posture, musicality, and expressive performance. Through guided warm-ups, stylized combinations, and a short group routine, dancers will gain insight into the discipline and artistry that defined Eaton’s work on the Broadway stage.
No prior dance experience required—this workshop is designed to be inclusive, engaging, and celebratory, honoring Doris Eaton’s legacy while encouraging confidence, grace, and individuality in performance.
