West Side Story- Cool

The Jets try to play it cool after Riff's death. I think this is one of the best performed and arranged sequences of the film. Can you imagine expressing repressed anger through pirouette? Genius. And I love how they stare into the camera (supposedly where the Sharks are) in the end.

The principles are such well trained dancers and actors. The combination, set against a perfect score make a ballet that is descriptive of where these kids are psychologically.  Possibly the most well crafted modern dance musicals ever made.

Anyone else think it's not a coincidence that the gang member Ice is singing the song 'Cool' :)
