Book Available Now at Leading Book Stores

Debra McWaters has translated her experiences working on Fosse productions into an indispensable guide titled The Fosse Style. Bob Fosse created some of Broadway’s most memorable shows, including Cabaret and Chicago. His unique style has been copied and, unfortunately, misinterpreted many times. While his choreography appears simple and smooth in performance, extensive knowledge and technique are necessary to properly produce these internationally celebrated movements.

The Fosse Style breaks down Fosse’s renowned choreography through vivid descriptions and 355 instructional photographs, explaining how individual body parts should move and what they express. Instruction leads to a complete analysis, by movement, of many of Fosse’s signature pieces. With a foreword by legendary dancer Ben Vereen, a master class artist and member of the artistic advisory board of  BTP, The Fosse Style stands as a unique exploration of the technique and artistry of one of Broadway’s most celebrated choreographers.

Debra McWaters has worked as assistant choreographer on Broadway productions such asChicago and Fosse and was the director/choreographer on the international company ofFosse. As the artistic director of the Broadway Theatre Project, she is often called upon to teach Fosse workshops across the country.
