These excited seventeen year olds sought and gained the support of community businessman Mr. Theophilus Fritz, Mr.
T and the rest is Junkanoo history. Fancy Dancers has consistently participated in parades with a nine year consecutive victory for a total of 18 first placed finishes until 2000.
A premier Category B group, Chairman for Fancy Dancers, Mr. Carlos Pyfrom notes that Fancy Dancers appreciates the support Mr. D’Aguilar has given Fancy Dancers over the years as an MP and as a businessman. Noting that category B groups are often overlooked for sponsorship, he is proud to say that the reason Fancy Dancers has survived these many years is because of persons like Mr. D’Aguilar who
see the benefits in the organization not only for arts and culture but also its community development.
