Bees Knees

+ Add to my selection

Comprising of Aila Baila and Baroness Jo Jo, the Bee’s Knees dance the nineteen-twenties in to the noughties. With sequins a-glint and fringed hems vigorously swinging, these chic show-girls provide an act with a euphoric party atmosphere. Their infectious Charleston steps make every foot feel tip-tappiddy-happy.

MARVEL: at moves to make your mother shimmy.
GASP: at the black bottom! (The dance made famous by Josephine Baker)
DELIGHT: in the speed, sparkle and spectacle of these thoroughly modern Flappers.

At every kick and turn the Bees Knees exude the quirky exoticism, style and humour of an era when knees were VERY exciting!

Comments include: “I didn’t know legs could move like that!” (Zack, London)

“The Bees Knees really are the Cats Whiskers” (Gordon KroonKat Lounge)

“…like Ginger Rogers on acid!” (Andy Reed Photographer)

"Sequin spangled, booty shaking vintage cabaret with humour, style and dance expertise. This high energy act has spoilt audiences again and again. A must have Finale to any cabaret night" (Karen Cruiks, Lost Vagueness production)

The Bee’s Knees’ growing reputation as a sizzling double act has increased demand for their expert DJ skills. Aila Baila also performs in Swizzleshaker with Dave Chameleon and in Flamenco Aire.
