Fosse was a choreographer known for his unique style. His signature moves included: tiped bowler hats, snapping fingers, isolated rotations of the hips and shoulders, and white-gloved jazz hands, to name just a few.

Fosse was born on June 23, 1927. Throughout his life won too many awards to count and led a career that has been matched by none when he died on September 23, 1987.
