羅伯特‧「鮑柏」‧佛西 (Robert 「Bob」 Fosse) 出生於1927623

50年的職業生涯中,佛西的角色包括了舞者、製作人,以及導演。他創造了許多在美國最受歡迎的音樂劇與電影。當你看著音樂錄影帶或者是音樂劇時,你知不知道是誰創造這些舞步?不管編舞者是誰,或多或少都會受到鮑柏‧佛西之風格的影響。

在他13歲的時候,佛西就已經開始第一次的職業舞蹈表演了。除了跳舞之外,佛西也學習戲劇。在他21歲的時候,本來只在一般場所表演,不過後來就到了百老匯 (Broadway) 發展。嘻哈 (Hip-hop) 、迪斯可 (disco) 、放克 (funk) 等各種音樂型態都被融入佛西的舞蹈風格之中。下一次你看到音樂錄影帶時,可以仔細看看裡頭的舞步。試著想像哪一些舞步是沿用佛西的風格與舞蹈的。


During his 50-year career as a dancer, producer, and director, he created some of this country's most popular musical theater and films. When you see a music video or a musical do you know who created the dance moves? Whoever it is probably learned a little from Bob Fosse's original style.

By the time he was 13, Fosse had his own professional dance act. In addition to dance, he also studied theater, and by 21, he was performing in road companies and then on Broadway. Hip-hop, disco, and funk all borrow elements of Fosse's style. The next time you watch a music video, check out the dance steps. Try to imagine which ones were borrowed from Fosse's choreography.
