www.freds.gr/ The Frug (pronounced "froog") was a dance craze from the 1960s that evolved from another dance of the era, the Chicken. The Chicken, which featured lateral body movements, was used primarily as a change of pace step while doing the Twist. As young dancers grew more tired they would do less work, moving only their hips while standing in place. They then started making up arm movements for the dance, which prompted the birth of the Swim, the Monkey, the Dog, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, and the Jerk. The Frug is sometimes referred to as the Surf, Big Bea, and the Thunderbird.
A perfect example of a Frug is found in the movie Sweet Charity, which contains a number called "The Rich Man's Frug", a wildly energetic dance number comprising three "movements" ("The Aloof", "The Heavyweight" and "The Big Finish") that showcases director Bob Fosse's distinctive choreography style, particularly his creative use of unusual poses, gestures, and arm movement. www.freds.gr/

Trivia: The black dancer is a young Ben Vereen. The lead lady is Suzanne Charny, a well-known Broadway dancer as well as an actress specializing in character roles. In that regard, it is an interesting to note that she played a vampire in an episode of the "The Night Stalker." "The Aloof" is considered to have been one of the major inspirations for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

Her performance in The Night Stalker is also a revelation. Never saw a femme fatale look so chillingly evil! When she vamps, there is nothing romantic about it, she is all feral, snarling, malicious predator just like Barry Atwater's portrayal of the vampire who sired her Janos Skorzeny.

Fosse accentuated the simplest movements to make them beautiful and interesting! Wrist flips, head nods, eye blinks, and flinging ponytails like whips... all of this created by a man who was never a dancer! "All That Jazz" was his fictionalized story, but I'm sure there was a bit of truth in how he created his choreography! A man of vision, and a true genius in his craft!

I have had this on repeat for almost an hour. The lead dancer lady sure has enviable flexibility and control over her body. I so wish I was a theatrical dancer now. Bob Fosse videos just make me want to move in ways I would never have imagined on my own. If only Michael Jackson had talked admirably and openly about where he got his inspiration from, a lot of the younger generation would have known about Fosse long long ago.......because I can see a lot of *Fosse* in Michael's videos.

Richard Rodriguez I know she's a fan (as is her choreographer), and by now it's pretty well known that this and some other videos are, indeed, inspired very heavily by Bob Fosse's work. But especially when her choreographer takes some extremely direct 'inspiration' (and the use of that term is charitable to both Beyoncé and her choreographer) from a far less well-known (especially by the broad public in the USA), still very much alive and working, not at all wealthy, modern dance choreographer, the proper thing to do is to ask permission, and, if it's granted, negotiate a deal for the use of some of that woman's artistic output. In any case, at least give her credit. Miss Beyoncé (of whom I am a fan) is in a category of fame and wealth that makes it absolutely incumbent on her to follow the dictum, "noblesse oblige." Also, it's only fair and good business to acknowledge people, and pay them for their work and services.

Whenever the question is asked, who was Bob Fosse and why is he considered such a good choreographer, this is the answer. Off the wall different, of course it is, but that's Fosse. The absolute precision of movement that Fosse demanded of his dancers hasn't been equaled by any other choreographer I know of, but it's the reason so many of his dances are so memorable.

Suzanne Charney, a Leading Dancer, is representing pure sensuality. Goddess of coolness perfectly channelling surreal eccentricity of Fosse’s choreographic. Her long pony tail, little black dress and white gloves plus largely expressionless face and the sheer quirkiness of movement. No one, lead Frug dancer, has the command of movement or the sleek sensuality of Suzanne Charney. Chapeau bas!

God, everything from the choreography to the dancing, camera work, orchestration, design...absolutely spot on. There's some archival footage of a rehearsal for this number -- the dancers were just so disciplined and beautifully trained. You can tell that a lot of them were Fosse regulars. Today, Broadway dancers are actually not good enough to execute something this perfectly.

Yes, the training of today's dancers is worlds different. Most of them aren't really hoofers like the old days. Back then, there used to be so many musicals on Broadway, entertainers could make a living as dancers. I don't think there are many teachers left who teach solely musical theater jazz dance anymore. When I was young, I took class from a woman who danced for Jack Cole (Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon and Carol Haney all danced for him). It was a strenuous, very precise technique. She would work on just one isolation for an hour. That would be just to get it to look somewhat right. It would take many, more hours to look even close to Cole or even Fosse's innovations. All of these teachers are long gone. And the ones left aren't needed because they will allow just about anyone to dance. Technicians not needed.

Insightful comment. The artist Henri Matisse once said: 1. Don’t try to be original. 2. Be SIMPLE. 3. Be good TECHNICALLY....because if there is something IN YOU....it will come out. It’s amazing that one can review Fosse’s contributions in hindsight and obtain more appreciation for how sound his body of work is.

I can't believe it's been 50 years since this movie came out. For the Broadway version it's been over 50 years and this movie version has been 50 years still with great music numbers like "Big Spender" and "Rich Man's Frug" and unforgettable choreography by Bob Fosse.

I love this clip from "Sweet Charity" a movie I really enjoyed when I saw it in the theater so many years ago. This clip takes me back in time when modern styles of dance we're finding their birth and freedom thru choreographers like Bob Fosse. It was a quirky time so, the style of dance movements used by BF obviously reflected it. Some of these movements can seem silly to those who didn't grow up in the 60's with it's bold color, movement, self awareness and a strong burgeoning of rebellion. Anyone fortunate enough to have lived in the 60's will recognize this style immediately. It was more about the fun and freedom a person's body felt as it made these type of almost silly movements than it was about all the rules and restrictions the years prior had held us to in every area of life... Great clip, thanks for the share

Trina. I was lucky enough to grow up close to Hollywood in the 60s. However, it was just this week that I realized what a genius he was. We were lucky enough to have winners, in the eyes of world from WW2. They smoked, drank like fish, but went to temple, church etc., on Sun. My thanks also for the clip.

I SO love Bob Fosse's style and choreography! ...So "mod", earthy, humrous, soulful, acrobatic & sexy at the same time. A true genius of dance and style. Also, this may sound strange to many...but this is so like my natural dance style (like what I do around the house when alone...lol...even before watching his videos) especially the "Aloof" - Im honored to be vibing with Bob Fosse's style though!
