Bob Fosse

The last dance-post for a while, I promise. I just cannot resist to include my all-time favourite (I cannot imagine I did not start with him...)

So, this is very different from what I have showed you: this is musical theater! Nanaimo and Tarelle already had the chance to see my favourite "All that jazz" but I am sure that you have seen other coreographies from him, but did not know it was his (Chicago? Cabaret? Sweet Charity?) The bit that I am showing you is from this latter, where you can see all his genius: at first instant it does not even look like dancing... But it definitely is, and also what I find the sexiest dance ever. Just some subtle movements, or sometimes even the same pose, held for a minute: it takes a great dancer to do it right! The result is highly erotic, without any trace of being vulgar (see any chosen rap-video for the contrast).



This is said to be the direct precedent to this famous number in "Cabaret": I hope you like it!
