This formation arose in 1980 from a dance group called The Maria More Dancers, which performed on a TV programme, "Top Pop". Line-up: Deborah Jenner (from England), Ingrid de Goede, Yvonne van Splunteren, Irene v.d. Hoeven and (also from England) Dona Baron. Following some disco-hits, Doris formed a new group - Pins, with four English girls, who had already been performing under the name Profile. The "shelved" Pins formed Risque at the end of 1981.
