LEGACY IN DANCE (Bob Fosse')

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

quite beautifully outrageous

like lithe gazelles

one could easily compare

scratching it up

as they scrap on the stage

why yes sir-ee

that's Fosse's Gairls!

so sexily unaware up there

light as air

limber and lean

artistically haughty

quite simply supreme

gorgeous to watch

no steps do they seem to botch

as they bare their sculpted torsos

and shake their quivering tops

wowing the crowds

with their magnificent stance

and cleverly choreographed

step thrusts and kicks

heat and attractive shimmy

gyrate in such marvelous motion

proudly put forth

on such suggestive public display

such deep dedication of spirit

shines through the strain of focus

and careful control in each his

every snazzy play

so

Hats of Bob!

knees in

and hips forward

elbows loose

for your provocative

best light stance

has numerous new generations

of dancers and viewers alike

yet to teach

but

'One Singular Sensation!'

at a time

please!....................

(Feb. 3, 1999)

I saw a tribute to the Bob Fosse style of dance and this poem came to me from that................
