Jazz Dancing

Rachel Feinerman (Downown Dancer) has post about skit on Saturday Night Live this past weekend with Catherine Zeta-Jones doing piece that featured classic Bob Fosse moves. I did search to try to find video clip of SNL skit, but no luck. I'd like to see it - if anybody can upload DVR video of skit, that would be great - I guess that's probably long shot.

Also on Jazz front, Evie of Dance Thoughts posts link to good overview article about Jazz dancing, famous choreographers and history.

I've been looking for more Jazz-related dance articles and resources since I started taking Jazz last month. I'm taking a 13-week introductory jazz class at Joy of Motion with Douglas Yeuell. The class is great. I'm going to go to the level I drop-in jazz classes soon, but I wanted to get about five or six weeks in of the basics before going to the drop in classes. A woman in my class asked me last week whether I felt self-conscious about being the only guy in the class - there are about 25 people in the class. I said I did for the first few weeks, but now it doesn't bother me that much even when I get completely lost.
