so ive finally mastered the tap dance of 92sies king of new york, livesies king of new york, combined both into a weird hybrid king of new york and also choreographed my own. so ive decided to move on and learn a new dance. which one? step in time from mary poppins. why? cos i saw it today and its fucking awesome. and also apart from the going upside down bit its decently simple and honestly quite similar to the mash up thing i did. wish me luck lmfao cos ill sure as hell need it

ANN MILLER ✨
In her heyday, Miller was America's leading female tap dance star, inheriting the mantle from Eleanor Powell. She preferred a vigorous approach to dancing that was athletic and speedy, and claimed to be able to dance at 500 taps per minute, which no one disputed.

I just watched Anything Goes for the first time (a recently posted bootleg with the great sutton foster) and I was not prepared for the marvelously unhinged masterpiece that it was
I think Cole Porter really just wanted to write a musical consisting entirely of dance breaks for a brilliant and hilarious character but then he realized he needed a plot so he made a quick love triangle around her except she was the only interesting character in this triangle
Then he was like what we really need on this boat are a couple of gangsters so in comes moonface marvin and his slutty little sidekick who doesn't listen to a word he says, and he has the aforementioned gangster sing a song about a bluebird while making some extremely talented lights person make a spotlight sit in his hand
And then he writes a song with the two interesting characters (no they're not the main characters no not at all how can they be they're not in love) sing a song about being friends but they end up arguing and breaking the fourth wall to the extent of interacting with the pit conductor (are there any other musicals that do this? Falsettos does by having the 'band' wave at the audience but that's all I can think of)
And then he was like shoot I gotta wrap this up let's just have everyone get married so we end with a triumphant triple wedding and reno sweeney and Lord Evie sing "iT's DeLiCiOuS like the charming little weirdos they are

Gregory Oliver Hines (February 14, 1946 – August 9, 2003) was an American dancer, actor, choreographer and singer. He is considered one of the most celebrated tap dancers of all time.
Hines began tap dancing when he was two years old, and began dancing semi professionally at age five. After that, he and his older brother Maurice performed together, studying with choreographer Henry LeTang.
Gregory and Maurice also studied with veteran tap dancers, such as Howard Sims and The Nicholas Brothers when they performed at the same venues. The two brothers were known as "The Hines Kids," making nightclub appearances at venues such as the Cotton Club in Miami with Cab Calloway. They were later known as "The Hines Brothers."
When their father joined the act as a drummer, the name changed again in 1963 to "Hines, Hines, and Dad."
Hines made his movie debut in Mel Brooks's History of the World, Part I (1981), replacing Richard Pryor, who had originally been cast in the role but suffered severe burns in a house fire just days before he was due to begin shooting. Madeline Kahn, also starring in the film, suggested to director Mel Brooks that he look into Hines for the role after they learned of Pryor's hospitalization.
Critics took note of Hines's comedic charm, and he later appeared in movies such as Wolfen, The Cotton Club, White Nights, Running Scared with Billy Crystal, Tap, and Waiting to Exhale.
On television, he starred in his own series in 1997 called The Gregory Hines Show on CBS, as well as in the recurring role of Ben Doucette on Will & Grace. He would return to voice Big Bill in Nick Jr.'s television show, Little Bill, in the end of 1999. He starred in The Tic Code in 2000.
Hines starred in more than 40 films and also made his mark on Broadway during his lifetime. He was the recipient of many accolades, including a Daytime Emmy Award, a Drama Desk Award and a Tony Award, as well as nominations for a Screen Actors Guild Award and four Primetime Emmy Awards.

"My heart dances in my cage of ribs to the sound of your voice like a tap dancer, dancing the night away.. it beats softly and races too, it crescendos as it beats, it thunders, god help me!! I am in love.."
My heart dances to your symphony of roses - eUë
