Marilyn sent us these thoughts
I always felt like was a little too funky to fit in with my blonde hair blue-eyed California girl image… it wasn’t until I experienced Jennifer teaching her creative, outrageously funky dance moves and fun combinations to James Brown, Rufus and soul tunes that I found my calling. Her students resembled a mix of sorority girls, from Chicago to Beverly Hills. I noticed a blonde blue-eyed ice skater, Natalie, doing these robot and locking moves alongside a girl I thought I had watched on Soul Train, Lissa. Yana was a tall athletic blonde, striking and unusual. Adding to the eclectic mix of beauties was Denice, a curly-haired dancer from UCLA, perhaps a princess type but certainly not in attitude. It was so exciting watching these white Girls get down and funky in their striped knee socks, knickers pants, sport tops and hats. I thought “I want to do that.” Jennifer’s class was a blast! Her work always left room for individual self expression. What a great fit! After class Jennifer approached me and asked if I was interested in joining her company.
From Tokyo to Las Vegas, with Dick Clark and Frank Zappa, the L A Knockers have been turning heads and raising eyebrows, in films, commercials, on stage and television, since the mid seventies, with their unmistakable trend-setting rule-breaking fashion styles.
Were we chicks and babes? Never! Strong women and individuals? Always! We ARE the L A Knockers!
