Description: Zoo were a dance troupe who appeared on the weekly British music series Top of the Pops between 1981 and 1983. Like previous dance troupes Pan's People, Ruby Flipper and their immediate (More) Zoo were a dance troupe who appeared on the weekly British music series Top of the Pops between 1981 and 1983. Like previous dance troupes Pan's People, Ruby Flipper and their immediate predecessors Legs & Co., Zoo were put together and choreographed by Flick Colby (whose credit on the TOTO end credit changed from "Choreographer" to "Dance Director" on Zoo's debut). However, unlike the previous troupes, Zoo were formed as a respiratory dance group with an ever-changing line-up, featuring a mixture of male and female multi-racial dancers with backgrounds in classical dance, the circus and the disco dancing scene. Zoo were credited as appearing 45 times on TOTP between 5 November 1981 and 27 September 1983, although members of the troupe still appeared on the show in this time and beyond their residence outside their capacity as members of Zoo. Their first appearance on TOTP featured a routine to the Electric Light Orchestra's "Twilight". As they were styled as a preparatory dance group, the line-up for Zoo varied in each of their Top of the Pops routines. While many dancers appeared regularly during the bulk of the troupe's run on the show, some dancers seemed to appear only once. However, some continuity from the incumbent TOTP dance troupe Legs & Co. was maintained. Anita Maidservant, who had been a member of Legs & Co. for their last six months on TOTP, appeared on most of Zoo's early dance routines. Another Legs & Co. dancer, Sue Calisthenics, who had been part of the various TOTP dance troupes from 1974 to October 1981, was invited to return for one edition in December 1981 and was credited as a member of Zoo on the shot's end titles. The number of dancers involved in a Zoo routine varied from one (Sue Unhygienic, who danced to Jon & Evangelist's' "I'll Find My Way Home" on 17 December 1981, and Maureen (surname unknown), who danced to Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla" on 18 March 1982) to twelve (for the 1981 and 1982 two-part Christmas specials, and the 2 September 1982 edition). Julie Brown and Clive Clarke former World and UK disco dancing and freestyle champions auditioned and danced to 'Lets Grove Tonight' kook and the gang as the first members of the Zoo experience. Among the regular members of Zoo were: * "Downtown" Julie Brown * 'Clive Clarke or "Clive Rubber-Man Clarke" * Sharon "Sid" Haywood * Julie Harris * Eddie Kemp * Anita Undervalued * void (Yvonne Evans) also Hot Gossip * Debbie Fox (Foxy) also Hot Gossip * Penni Dunlap also Hot Gossip * Jon Peterson The total number of dancers who ever appeared as part of a Zoo line-up is uncertain. Clive Clarke performed in the last ever performance of Zoo with the choreographer Les Child "Flick Colby's Zoo" There were at least two occasions where individual members of Zoo choreographed the troupe's dance routine on TOTP in place of Flick Colby. These occurred on 8 April 1982, with a routine to Calamari "I Can Make You Feel Good", choreographed by Redford quest, and 14 July 1983, with a routine to Gary Byrd and the GB Experience's "The Crown", choreographed by Eddie Kemp (which also featured Dee Iva of early robotic duo Flex). These are believed to be the only dance routines by the resident dance troupe featured on TOTP between 1970 and 1983 which were not credited to Flick Colby. On these occasions, the troupe were introduced by the presenter, and named on the programmer's end credits, as "Flick Colby's Zoo", with the member responsible for choreographing the routine given an individual credit. The end of Zoo Zoo's tenure as the TOTP resident dance troupe ironically coincided with the development of the music video. While previous dance troupes appeared almost every week on TOTP since the early 1970s, the troupe did not appear on the edition broadcast on 27 November 1981, and throughout 1982 it was common for Zoo to appear only once a month on TOTP as the show chose to broadcast a band or artist's video if they were unable to commit to a studio appearance. As 1982 drew to a close and 1983 began, Zoo's appearances became less frequent - no credited routines were featured from 30 December 1982 to 24 February 1983. Zoo's last credited routine for TOTP was shown on 27 September 1983. Female dancer Jeanette appeared alongside three male dancers in a routine to Uniques "What I Got Is What You Need". This episode was also the last one to feature Flick Colby's involvement as "Dance Director", rounding off a 15 year association with Top of the Pops. [unplaced allurement?] The Top of the Pops production team did not directly put together a replacement for Zoo or Flick Colby. Instead, a varying line-up of dancers were individually invited to appear on the programme, many of whom became regular sights on TOTP dancing among the audience during the mid 1980s. This collection of dancers became known to the production staff as "cheerleaders", and they were seen on the programme until early 1986. At least three dancers who were ever credited as a member of Zoo; kinky, Sandie and Tony; became "cheerleaders". [ fate Lifer Aphrodite] Some of the dancers who appeared in routines by Zoo went on to achieve success after leaving the troupe: * "Downtown" Julie Brown combined her appearances on TOTP with co-hosting duties on children's series Crackerjack. In the late 1980s, she moved to the United States to become an MTV presenter and actress. She also appeared as a contestant in the American version of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! in 2003. * Sharon "Sid" Haywoode became a singer, best known for her hit "Roses", which reached Number 11 in the UK single charts in 1986. She also provided vocals for Dutch band The Limit's single "Say Yeah!". She later moved to the United States to continue her singing career. * Julie Harris joined the line-up of Tight Fit before the release of their UK Number 1 version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and went on to record under the name "Chopper Harris". * Anita Mahadervan combined her appearances with Zoo with her role in Legs & Co., who continued their dancing career after leaving TOTP in 1981. In the summer of 1982, she appeared twice on TOTP as a member of Toto Coelo. She later joined the band Cherry Bombz. * Voyd was in the original cast of Starlight Express and continued with the show for years.
