There are levels, I think the HS teacher ought to know that. I am a dancer and Fosse must be revolting in his coffin. This teacher has taught the students that Fosse can be done by anyone which is absolutely not true. You need YEARS of training

[leojrevlis]

@azulselene I concede that these young students are quite lame with regards to quality Fosse moves. But, I do not understand how YOU could possibly know what the teacher's intentions were, nor the circumstances for including the full Frug segment in the performance. Yeah, these kids can barely dance, no less dance with style. ;-}}

I enjoyed reading your sentence, "Fosse must be revolting in his coffin." Revolting?? Yes, you MUST be a dancer. ;-}} . . ;-}}

I'm kidding - lighten up!

They did an admirable job...ten years on, now, most of them are probably not performing for a living, but they will always have this experience to remember...that's what high school performing arts is all about...the experience...and developing an appreciation for the arts for the future.

@markcosborne Holy crap.. a sensible, rational comment! Pinch me; am I dreaming? Mark, will you marry me?

This comment HAS been written on a youtube page, right? ..Just checking! ;-}

And - you used capital letters, complete sentences, and correct punctuation.

Again.. this IS youtube?

Thank you for giving me "reason" to not remove 5 years worth of musical theatre performance clips.

i'm so glad that there are other high school choreographers out there that challenge their students by recreating the exact intricateness of fosse's original choreography. the modifications made to suit the dancers were very smart and everyone did a beautiful job! bravo/a!

that was a great HS rendition of that dance, and they had plenty of guys in it, some of the HS vids of this are mostly girls.

loved it!

@leojrevlis I cannot know what the teacher's intentions were. I can see the result, I can tell you that a routine at the students level would have been more productive as they would have learnt something, kinesthetically speaking. When you do something at your level and you are able to perform it you are left a better understanding of how your body moves Why does the teacher takes away from them the opportunity to do something they will feel proud of instead of this crap?

@leojrevlis You're too funny! And you're so welcome. :^)

@armandofarras wasn't perfect, but on the other hand - the DANCE wasn't that bad - actually it was rather ok ... on the other hand (singing and the band caused some problems for my ears

[joelarama]
