    This is a terrific dance. I must say though that it wasn't really choreographed by Jack Cole, although he may have overseen it and contributed ideas to it. It's fully vintage Champion and features many of the steps, lifts and combinations that you'll see in other of his dances.

    When I was studying Composition while at University my Composition Professor always complained " It Sounds like a Musical". Well, I grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing the "Songbooks", not Hindemith!?! So? It's not that they don't write songs like this, it's more like "they won't teach us", but We try anyway. I'm still studying Gershwin and have Ideas for Musicals, but it's very difficult to do all on your own.

    @@jackwilloughby239 Not sure if you’ve heard of Jennifer Higdon. She is a Pulitzer Prize winning composer. One of her biggest influences was the Beatles. She said she listened to her Beatles records for hours growing up.

    I have heard of her through Hillary Hahn. I once bought a copy of "the Complete Scores". I don't see how anyone could grow up in the 60's and 70's without being influenced by Lennon and McCartney. Reading through "Tunesmith" by Jimmy Web (Wichita Lineman) Jim says Paul is the greatest songwriter who ever lived. Hard to disagree with that! Cheers,@@fd9987

    Such a great dance! Like you said, this dance shows a couple falling in love. It actually reminds me of a famous moment from the 1943 comedy The More the Merrier. Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea play two people who are increasingly attracted to each other despite her engagement to another man. They are walking home together one evening. Their conversation is casual but their gestures and body language as they walk clearly show they are dying to get close. It's a well-choreographed scene in its own way, just like this dance is. Thank you for posting it!
