Fosse dance style is a signature jazz choreography created by Bob Fosse, a legendary American dancer, choreographer, writer, and director. Fosses style is characterized by its slow, angular sensuality, and his movements, and stillness, are meticulous. Some of the key features of Fosse dance style include:

• Curved shoulders
• Hip rolls and thrusts
• Turned-in knees and toes
• Sideways shuffling
• Insistent finger snaps
• Famous jazz hands
• Bowler hats, particularly, are 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 style was groundbreaking and changed Broadway forever in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s with his choreography for musicals such as Damn Yankees, Sweet Charity, The Pajama Game, and more. Fosses influence is still reverberating through the dance world, and performers from Michael Jackson to Beyoncé have all been influenced by his work. Fosse dancers must be able to isolate everything, right down to their eyeballs, elbows, and fingers. To develop control, training in modern, jazz, tap, and especially ballet is essential.
