Summary
“Takes” on Theatre Dance is a unique DVD focusing on theatre performance inspired by Swing, Charleston and classic Jazz. This video is best suited for the intermediate to advanced dancer. You will learn three dynamic and innovative routines from three theatre dance professionals. Each one is great, and each routine has much to offer to the aspiring dancer.
Andy Blankenbuehler begins with a dynamic Vaudeville Charleston incorporating the energy and performance of classic musical comedy. His choreography offers the dancer a clear blueprint for building an exciting performance from the 1920's.
Next, Eugene Fleming follows with a Savoy Strut combination, which captures the essence of theatre dance. The Strut is reminiscent of the 1940’s Harlem. Its smooth, sleek, tight movements allow the dancer to express the exuberance of the era.
Finally, Danny Herman teaches a classic jazz combination that is a tribute to the inventor of theatrical jazz, Jack Cole. Develop a deeper understanding of theatrical jazz by studying the origins of the style.
