3-critics would say that bob fosse jazz technique was slouchy and that it had bad posture they also used to say that it was pointless as there hats covered their faces anyway.

4-bob fosse and his work is so famous as the style ended up being linked to multiple Broadway musicals.

in this photo the dancers are using the technique rolled back shoulders bob fosse used loads of things like this such as splayed fingers, turned in knees and side ways shuffles.


Bob fosses style was very slow and used a lot of sensuality he also utilized the spotlight to guide and manipulate as yo can see in the photo.
