Anyone who’s taken my jazz classes recently knows I’m on a huge Bob Fosse kick (it all started when I began looking for inspiration for my new Beatnik routines, my current pet project). Nah, not 1970s “Spirit Fingers” Fosse, but the way cooler 1950s Fosse. Here’s one of my favourite clips at the moment, I’ll be definitely drawing on this for my Beatnik number! It’s Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse dancing in Damn Yankees (1958):

Anyway, I stumbled across this newspaper clipping from 2000, what a treat! As a dancer, you can only dream that one day your poses and silhouettes could be as recognisable as Fosse’s…
