Text from Front Flap, 1980 First Edition

Text from Front Flap, 1980 First Edition "Several young people professionally involved with Broadway musicals have created this exciting visual interpretation of some of the more colorful terms in the language of show dancing. Words such as "a six o'clock," "hitchkick," "cakewalk," and "barrel turn" - along with the steps and movements they represent-are not only familiar terms in the musical theater, but they also have been incorporated into ice skating, cheerleading, roller skating, and ballroom and disco dancing. Kelly Bishop and Thomas J. Walsh, two stars of the original Broadway production of A CHORUS LINE, are the featured dancers for this book, and are photographed by Martha Swope, the most distinguished of contemporary dance photographers."
