Join the Kansas City Canaries for our next workshop focusing on The Tiller Girls!

As a team we believe that cost should never be a barrier to dance. That's why our quarterly workshops are “Pay What You Can”.

The Tiller Girls, founded in 1889 in Manchester, England, by the visionary John Tiller, quickly became the epitome of precision dance and garnered immense popularity in the dance world. Stepping onto the stage with quick, flawlessly synchronized movements, the Tiller Girls left a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. Fast forward to the swinging 1960s and 70s, and their iconic performances at The London Palladium solidified their place in dance history. Yet, their origins trace back over three decades before the Rockettes made their debut in 1925. With a staggering eighty troupes captivating audiences from Broadway to Paris, and even gracing the silver screen in Hollywood films under the direction of Busby Berkeley, the Tiller Girls' influence was undeniable. Their legacy even inspired European revue directors to create similar dance troupes, a testament to their enduring appeal and John Tiller's groundbreaking vision in the dance industry.
