Sloopy Girl - Lisa Leonard Dalton's Website
The famous "Sloopy Girl" dancer Lisa Leonard Dalton stays in touch with fans at LisaSloopyGirl.Com
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 this video at my Sloopy Girl YouTube channel. Click below to watch it.
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!
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.
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.
