We had our first stumble through today. There was far less stumbling than anyone might have expected.
I was thinking today about the kickline numbers since we saw quite a bit of work on them recently. Kicklines were one of two elements that were part of the “Americanization” of popular entertainment of the time (the other being Jazz). The appeal of the kickline in that cultural context was the military precision. Not to kid myself or anyone else, there was of course an erotic aspect to it, but what attracted so much commentary was its resemblance to military drill.
A bit of history trivia: though the kickline was perceived as being very American and modern, the first dance company of note that performed in this style was British.
