This is so cool! Where on earth did you dig it up! It's funny 'cause the dance style is not quite typically Fosse, yet, but you can see some of his characteristic moves had already started to take shape.

Thanks so much for posting it! :-) I featured it on my blog, EcleticDance, a couple of weeks ago in a post about Fosse.

Hi,i have unloaded on an internet site,but not memory which.

Great to see this! Fosse was still tap-based at the time, but the Cole influence is already at work. For course, when Gwen Verdon arrived in Fosse's life and career, she brought MAJOR Cole references. It is incredible to see the evolution of a stle, isn't it?

THank you! What a gem... I'd characterize it as Jack Cole high on sugar...
