What is one unique characteristic of Fosse's choreography style?

  • Turned-in knees and jazz hands

  • Pop and lock

  • Breaking and liquid

  • Samba and Charleston

Answer

One unique characteristic of Bob Fosse's choreography style is the turned-in knees and jazz hands. Fosse's signature turned-in knees give his dancers a distinctive look and make their movements appear more fluid and graceful. The jazz hands, which are characterized by the dancer's fingers spread wide and the palm facing up, are a nod to the early days of jazz dance.
