Pennsylvania-born Felicity Colby enrolled in ballet and other dance classes as a child. She had dreams of becoming a professional dancer. She was lucky enough to be cast in several musicals before trying her hand at dancing on the London scene in the 1960s.
In late 1966, Felicity — now going by “Flick” — founded Pan’s People, a modern dance troupe comprised of five women around her own age. The group made appearances on the BBC on top shows like The Two Ronnies and The Bobbie Gentry Show before becoming a weekly fixture on the wildly popular Top of the Pops. In addition to being a member of the group, Flick served as the main choreographer for the run of the series. She also supervised dance moves for several other dance troupe, as well as choreographing the rock musical Catch My Soul.
After Top of the Pops ended, Flick returned to her home in Clinton, New York and opened a small gift shop. She left her dance career in her distant past.
Flick passed away in 2011 from bronchopneumonia after a diagnosis of breast cancer. She was 65.
