On International Dance Day, it is important to remember and acknowledge someone of the caliber like Mr. Cole, after all when it comes to Jazz Dance and if you learnt Jazz Dance, you will have learnt something from his codification. Jack Cole. (John Ewing Richter). Born: April 27th 1911 (New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA. – Died: February 17th 1974 (Los Angeles, California, USA). Jack Cole, “Cole technique” is the basis of what is American/Theatrical Jazz Dance today. Mr. Cole was a great influence on other great dancers we know, such as, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, and Peter Gennaro. Mr. Cole set the bar high with his understanding of dance and its origin/history, he learnt and understood other styles/techniques, from Modern, Caribbean, to Oriental. His ability to choreograph for both male and female dancers was amazing too. When it comes to passing on that knowledge and preparing his dancers for work as a choreographer, he would often mention to his company dancers. – “I want you boys to dance like girls and I want you girls to dance like men.” For more of the Article/Video, Please visit my Facebook Page.
