Stacia Page was a dancer for the English rock group Hawkwind. Stacia joined the band in 1971, and true to this band's rather chemically-influenced history, accounts vary as to how and why she began working with the band. Liner notes to In Search of Space seem to indicate that poet and lyricist Robert Calvert was somehow involved; other sources state that she was a friend of Nik Turner, saxophonist and flautist for the band. In an interview in British music magazine Melody Maker, Stacia herself stated that she simply showed up and was inspired to dance by the band's music. In any case, she joined the "crew" in 1971 and immediately became an integral part of the group. For other uses, see Dance (disambiguation). ...

Stacia was six feet tall, an attractive and imposing figure of a woman by any standard, and often augmented her visual impact by performing clad only in iridescent or luminescent paint. She regarded what she did with the band as interpretive dance, and was an integral part of the early to mid-1970s Hawkwind experience, particularly during the Space Ritual era, widely considered to be the group's high point.
