Bob! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for ! I'm classically trained (older) and danced with regional companies, but haven't done much jazz! I plan to do some Fosse for Halloween - dancing (and singing) "All That Jazz", "Nowadays" and the "Hot Honey Rag" from "Chicago" Probably in character shoes vs. flat jazz shoes. - and so working on my jazz is really important. Do you have any pointers to getting my Fosse choreo down? I want that "no doubt about it - Bob Fosse" look. I wanted a class that I could give myself in my studio at home (barre and floor) and this is it. Thank you again! 💗
Profesor le agradezco por la introducción impartida espero continúe compartiendo sus conocimientos ya que me han cido muy importante en mi saludos desde México 🇲🇽
This is great stuff. It's fascinating tracing back the origin of these warm ups as I've done similar warmups with teachers in California before I focused on Luigi's style. I can presume that those other teachers of mine (mid-1980s) were exposed to Matt Maddox too. Like tracing spoken dialects, it would be a fun project to map out the provenance of the various warm ups and trace the lineage through each generation of teacher. Think of Vaganova, Bournonville, Petipa/Ivanov/Cechetti styles and how they've evolved. Of course each generation of teacher and student adds their own flavor -- that's how art progresses -- while still honoring from whence it came.
Thanks, yes the warm ups all have a source that is drawn from. In this one, I've pulled more from the three part opening warmup of Michael Owens, and then used the very fluid movement style of Matt Mattox, to move through the positions easily and with as much relaxation as possible.
I so agree! This warmup took me back and I loved it. Something so simple as releasing the upper back but lifting from the top of the head to go over and down. The nuance is beautiful. And I haven't heard the name Matt Mattox in so long - thank you Bob!
I feel so happy to have found you! After moving far away from my jazz dance teacher, I haven't been able to find this sort of classical technique class where I live. Do you teach classes and if so, where? Thank you so much!
Thanks, right now just teaching tap dance in NYC at Broadway Dance Center. I have other teaching but it's in universities....such a shame that the bigger studios in NYC will not support a strong jazz dance technique in their curriculum. I've reached out often for an opportunity to teach but without a positive response.
@@bboross my teachers in California complained about the same thing. It seems like classical jazz technique classes are being replaced with basically just choreography and "tricks". When I'm in NYC again, I will definitely take your classes!
Yasss this takes me back to my dancer years back in NYC. 5.6.7.8!!!
This warm up looks similar to the ones that my dance teachers used.
Yup, I just did this on my backyard patio:) Part 2 coming up now. Thanks, Bob!
Jolie Roberts That’s awesome, thanks Jolie! I’m happy that the videos have been of benefit to you.
