Through the Bob Fosse® Master Class Series, Legacy-sanctioned reconstructeurs teach style, technique, and work ethic to students at dance studios and colleges across the United States and the world.

Nicole Fosse and The Verdon Fosse Legacy® began the Bob Fosse® Master Class Series in 2013 with a goal to reconstruct both Fosse®’s popular and lesser-known repertoire with its original intent and integrity. In week-long workshops led by Lloyd Culbreath, Dana Moore, and Valarie Pettiford, an elite group of professional dancers reconstructed, rehearsed, and filmed Fosse®’s choreographic works for the Legacy’s archive.

During the rehearsal process, we brought in many of the dancers who originated roles or served as dance captain or assistant choreographer for the respective production. Such special guests included Kathryn Doby, Chita Rivera, Hinton Battle, Gene Foote, Cady Huffman, Roumel Reaux, Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, Mimi Quillin, Lee Roy Reams, Eileen Casey, Gary Flannery, Candace Tovar, Lynn Sterling, Diane Laurenson, Spence Ford, William Whitener, Donna McKechnie, Candy Brown, Gary Chryst, Linda Haberman, and Louise Quick (in memoriam).

Thanks to these invaluable and informative experiences, our founding reconstructeurs approach every teaching and performance opportunity with an unparalleled understanding of the history, nuance, and essence of the work.
