About Lisa

Lisa

Hi, Lisa Leonard Dalton here. You know me as the "Sloopy Girl" dancer. People often ask me when I filmed the Sloopy dance.
That video came out in Europe in 1975. Rick Derringer had been the front man with his group the McCoys and they had hit big with "Hang on Sloopy" in 1965.
But when I danced at MGM Hollywood in 1975, Rick was updating the song with a trendy at the time reggae style.
Many of the online videos of my dance, unfortunately, are labeled as 1960s and they also have the wrong music track.
Here at my website and at my YouTube channel I will set the record straight.
We have made lots of progress in that regard since I first revealed my identity as the Sloopy Girl dancer in the fall of 2021.
Thanks... Lisa

A Decade Later

Lisa

My last name before marriage was Leonard. Here are the five Leonard sisters. You can tell from the calendar on the wall that this is from 1986.
That was just 11 years after I filmed the Sloopy dance. There are lots of online photos of me at Gazzarri's club on the Sunset Strip, and doing the Sloopy dance, and recent photos. But not all that many from in between. Can you identify me in the picture? PS... Look for the shiny earring.

This photo is from July 2024. I was visiting Langley, WA on Whidbey Island with my sisters and brother in law. In Langley, I first met Steven Smith who has worked with me on my Sloopy Girl videos.

Sloopy Girl Smile

Steven Smith, who has helped me with my videos, was going through some pictures one day. He found a photo of me from 2010 and he said my smile was identical to the way I looked in the Sloopy Girl video. He believes that smile alone, no need for photo recognition, was all the evidence anyone needed to realize I was the Sloopy Girl. I think he's right!

Lisa Is Active On YouTube


Lisa identified as "Sloopy Girl" dancer



"Deconstructing a Myth: the Sloopy Girl," a documentary from autumn 2021, for the first time revealed the identity of the dancing Sloopy Girl as Lisa Leonard Dalton. Online rumors and misleading information had led to a myth that another woman might be the dancer. But this documentary set the record straight. A year after the release of "Deconstructing", Rick Derringer broke his silence on the matter and confirmed on social media that the then 19-year-old Lisa was the sexy dancer in his viral "Hang on Sloopy" video.

The Sloopy Film Location



For years people asked where I filmed the "Hang on Sloopy" dance with Rick Derringer in 1975. I lived in Woodland Hills at the time near LA and Hollywood. So it didn't take me long to drive to the address they gave me a few days before. The film shoot was at the most storied studio in all of Hollywood and I revealed the name of the studio in the REVEALED video at my Sloopy Girl YouTube channel.

I performed my now famous "Sloopy Girl" dance in 1975. At the time, Rick Derringer, previously the front man for the McCoys who'd had the hit with the tune, was re-releasing "Hang On Sloopy" ten years after it had topped the pop charts. It was nearly 40 years later that by happenstance I finally saw my dance appear on YouTube. Since it has been on social media, the Sloopy dance video has been viewed more than 200 million times. I live in Tennessee these days and I look forward to communicating with my friends and fans by way of this website and at my "Sloopy Girl" YouTube channel.
