Just saw someone ask about their school talent show and thought I'd ask too...but my questions are a little different.
I'm going to do a solo dance to a song from the movie chicago.
(1) Which song do you guys prefer, "And All That Jazz" (first song), or "Hot Honey Rag" (the song at the end where Roxie and Velma dance together)?
(2) If I do Hot Honey Rag: at the beginning of the song, there's a slowed down chorus of Nowadays, where in the movie Roxie and Velma are wearing long robes. Then when the tempo increases, they take off their robes to reveal short flippy dresses. Would that be appropriate for school? (My dress won't be that short of see through, mid thigh length).
(3) Any dos or donts/tips for practicing and performing?
Additional info, added Wednesday March 2 2005, 10:42 pm: The problem is that All That Jazz has somewhat inappropriate lyrics:
"I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down"
"Oh, she's gonna shimmy til her garters break"
"Find a flask, we're playing fast and loose"
"Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle/ If she hear her baby's queer for all that jazz"
-----------
Also don't answer unless you've seen chicago. It's not stripping- they just toss the robe over their shoulder to reveal their glittery more glam costumes..

I personally think that it would be more fun to do, but that's just my opinion, break a leg whichever you choose tho! [ wantinganswers112's advice column | Ask wantinganswers112 A Question ]
