Cast for the recreated dance sequences: Julie Miller (as Lydia Thompson, ca. 1869), Christine Busini (as Little Egypt, ca. 1893), Cynthia S. Lee (as Carrie Finnell, ca. 1923), Janet Kinsman (as fan dancer Sally Rand, ca. 1933), Christina Kumi Kimball (as Josephine Baker, ca. 1925), and Deborah Bartlett (as Gypsy Rose Lee)
