Fosse dance is a style of jazz dance created by Bob Fosse in the 1940s and 50s as an offshoot of Broadway jazz. Fosses signature jazz moves include curved shoulders, hip rolls and thrusts, turned-in knees and toes, sideways shuffling, insistent finger snaps, and the famous jazz hands. Bowler hats are also a classic Fosse tool to make the dance more dynamic. Fosse jazz is known for white gloves and black bowler hats, pigeon toes, isolations, and hunched shoulders. Fosses choreography is full-bodied and meticulous, with movements and stillness that tell an eloquent and often provocative story. Fosses style is widely used in musicals, including Cabaret, Chicago, and All That Jazz. Fosse struggled with many of his producers and directors, who wished him to tone down or remove the "controversial" parts of his dances. Tired of subverting his artistic vision for the sake of "being proper," Fosse realized that he needed to be the director as well as the choreographer in order to have control over his dances.
