Burkey, Elizabeth

Elizabeth Burkey, better known as Liz, was born in 1934 in Detroit, Michigan into a family of performance artists. Her first dance break came when she became a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York. She moved to Las Vegas, Nevada from California to own a dance studio at her husband’s encouragement. Burkey met Theresa Brickley while dancing one night at the Sun City Dance Company, and they quickly became best friends. They have performed together in various hotels all over Las Vegas, including the Sahara, Rio, and Mirage.
