My Relationship |
The only relationship I have with Jazz Dance is in my sixth grade gym class. To start out, it did not go well. We were assigned a partner to dance with. By ‘dance with’ I actually mean we tried to follow the tape on the ground without stepping on each other. Sometimes, to shake things up, my teacher put on some music or maybe threw on a video that moved way too quickly for our premature minds to follow on. I’m pretty sure she did that when she was having a bad day because there was nothing more funny than to watch us sway in confusion. Just imagine a new school with the same old, foul-rotten smelling gym with twenty pretweens awkwardly moving around each other and that’s my experience with Jazz Dance.

All that Jazz is a 1979 American Musical Film Directed by Bob Fosse, an american dancer, musical theater choreographer, director, screenwriter, film director, and actor. As a choreographer, he won eight Tony awards and extra one for direction. He was born in raised in Chicago so it was only natural that the film about his life and career. The film was inspired by his effort to edit his film Lenny while simultaneously staging the 1975 Broadway Musical Chicago. The title of film actually comes from the tune in the musical All That Jazz. The musical Chicago is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the "celebrity criminal." But the film All that Jazz is a semi-autobiographical film which portrayed the life of Bob Fosse himself as a womanizing, drug-addicted choreographer-director in the midst of triumph and failure. Many get the two confused but both were extremely successful.
