Choreography of Bob Fosse

Bob Fosse was born in 1927 and began dancing professionally at a young age. During World War Two, he served in a special unit that toured to entertain US troops in the Pacific Theater. After the War, he settled in New York City and continued to work as a dancer and choreographer.

In 1953, the MGM movie company hired him to choreograph dance performances in movies.  During the following decade -- through 1963 -- his choreography was featured in the movies and Broadway Plays Give a Girl a Break, The Affairs of Dobbie Gillis, Kiss Me Kate, Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Bells Are Ringing, Redhead, New Girl in Town, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

He continued to work as a choreographer almost until his death in 1987.
