The most popular all Girl groups of the time was the English Girls
later nicknamed the "Florodora Girls" who performed
the leggy, risqué dances popular during the time in the
show entitled "Florodora" which opened in London on
November 11, 1899, and later came to America in 1900 from the
London Operetta. These leggy dancers became a chorus type dance
group
like the Goldwyn Girls, Tiller Girls, Goldiggers, Ziegfeld Girls
etc. and a musical stock company of female dancers like the Golddiggers
etc. who appeared in many musicals such as Ziegfelds productions.

Many of these ladies would later dance as Goldwyn Girls, Ziegfeld
Girls and others as well as other musicals and movies in the 1900s-1940s.
They were sometimes listed as "Models," "Showgirls"
or "Chorus Girls." Most
of the Girls would dance in the show, marry one of the Rich Patrons
and quit the show which over time produced over 70 Floradora dancers..
