The ORIGINAL was from DANCIN'!!!! This pales compared to that Broadway Company! I was in the Broadway Company (I played the lead FRED ASTAIRE character also on the 1st National Tour to Los Angeles. Mr. Astaire came and saw the show--and said it was the best dancing he had ever seen in his life! My name is GARY FLANNERY and you can TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!
@dancinman17 - Gary, although I didn't have a chance to see it, I understand that DANCIN' was a tremendous show. It was nominated for 7 TONY Awards and won two - including best choreography by Bob Fosse. It looks like the revival of the show is finally on for the Fall of 2011 - I can't wait!
@theBestArts //Most of the Fosse show was brilliant--especially the ORIGINAL company-which did not perform in this video! Having been taught by FOSSE himself, I know what these numbers should be--and certain pieces are just not up to what BOB would have wanted! Blame whoever--but I hope the new production learns from these mistakes--though I know if they decide to do my "Bojangles" it will be another AWFUL version of what BOB considered his finest piece of DANCE THEATRE-but nobody asks me!!
@fibonacciflower Of course it looks "familiar to other BOB FOSSE works" this is FOSSE, the Musical.... about the work of Bob Fosse... and one of the choreographers is a alumni of Fosse's own dance troupe.
me and my best friends summer and ashley ande sydney are dancing to this in our dance class!!! it is the best dance in the whole world just because it is ours and not someone elses and you know what im just going to continue to type more words because i have 241 more letters i can type now the # is 200 im almost out of letters to type so i will type why i think that fingerprints are genetic well my mom and my little sister have the same type of fingerprints and so does my father my little sister
So was somebody going to ever teach the "Real Fosse" style. Cause that ain't it !
Except for Julio ! Pity Chet Walker didn't finish the job. cause he would have done Fosse' proud !

Something about the way the dancers walk, their arm position, the rhythm in the background, seem familiar from other Bob Fosse works.
