Bob Fosse - Sweet Charity

Bob Fosse is one of my favourite dancers and choreographers. His groundbreaking jazz steps are influenced by the cake- and the camel walk, historical performed by great vaudeville dancers like Joe Frisco and Jack Cole, counteracted by his own inventions, the chick walk, the fan kick, the hinge walk and the drag step. His choreographies followed the golden era of the hollywood musical genre and transformed it into new spheres. This clip shows two shortcuts, `Hey Big Spender´ and `The Rich Man´s Frug´ from his first movie as a director: Sweet Charity (1969), based on Federico Fellini´s Nights on Cabiria.
