Abstract
Part of the documentation of the week-long tap dancing workshop By word of foot I, presented by the Changing Times Tap Dancing Company on October 13-18, 1980. 10AM class taught by Marion Coles, who demonstrates, teaches a dance, and dances a duet with Jane Goldberg to the song "Watch what happens." She then discusses the dance she taught and her experiences in the chorus line at the Apollo Theater in New York, describing how the chorus line made its own dances despite the members' lack of formal training, their working conditions and salaries, and some notable female dancers. The conclusion of this session (ca. 20 seconds) appears on *MGZIC 9-5737.
