With its small gestures and isolated movements, it is frequently copied--and often misinterpreted. For there is far more to it than bowler hats and white gloves, which is why choreographer Debra McWaters has put together the ultimate visual and verbal guide to Fosse's way of dancing, choreographing, and teaching. Using hundreds of photographs, as well as descriptions from Fosse himself, McWaters guides dancers and teachers through the process of understanding the intricacies of this style of jazz dance. An assistant to Gwen Verdon on \u003ci\u003eFosse, \u003c\/i\u003ea long-time associate of Ann Reinking, and personal choreographer for Ben Vereen, McWaters is uniquely situated to write this book. \u003ci\u003eThe Fosse Style \u003c\/i\u003eprovides facts, not guesswork, about how to execute Fosse's signature movements, information handed down from an illustrious list of artists and performers.
