Sing Sing Sing

Fosse's influence meets authentic jazz technique in this combination, which has a lyrical feel and a syncopated push, so the dynamics need to be specific.

Stay grounded, use your plié and economize your movement. Listen to the instruments in the score and connect with them. The first hit, on one, is the accent you must land. Make the movement more important, not bigger.

Shoulder rolls, hip rolls and a jump over an imaginary hurdle give the piece its character.
