After her accident, Davison formed a dance troupe named 'The May Moxon Dancers'.[3] They were deemed a success.[4] She went on to form many more troupes who performed under various stage names including the 'Moxon Girls', 'Moxon Ladies' and 'May Moxon Lovelies' until her retirement in the 1970s.[2]
