Dancin'

Dancin' is a musical revue first produced in 1978, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, who won a Tony Award for the choreography. The show is a tribute to the art of dance, and the music is a collection of mostly American songs, many with a dance theme, from a wide variety of styles, from operetta to jazz to classical to marches to pop.

Production

Dancin' opened on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre on March 27, 1978. It then transferred to the Ambassador Theatre and ran for 1,774 performances (including previews). Additional choreography was by Christopher Chadman.

After the success of the dance-intensive A Chorus Line, Fosse proposed a show with little dialogue and singing. Fosse's concept for the show was to use classical and show music, popular music, rock and roll, Mozart, Bach, George M. Cohan, and contemporary music by Neil Diamond and Melissa Manchester, anything except a new score written by a collaborator. He stated publicly that the project would free him from the burden of an artistic partnership: "When you have collaborators, you have all those midnight meetings. I'm tired of those...So I just decided to meet myself at midnight." Fosse invited choreographer Graciela Daniele to contribute a few numbers, but she declined, saying "When you are out of ideas, call me. I have the feeling that once you get into it, you're going to want to do it all." Despite the lack of creative partners, Fosse still had to negotiate with his co-producer Bernard Jacobs, the president of The Shubert Organization, who objected to Fosse's risqué number depicting a tourist coping with New York City's then-notoriously seamy Times Square. The show's remaining numbers impressed audiences, and because Fosse co-produced the show, it became his biggest financial success in the theatre.

Dancin' (Guy song)

"Dancin'" is a song by American R&B group Guy recorded for their third studio album Guy III (2000). The song was released as the album's debut single in October 1999.

Although the group was long past their late-1980s/early-1990s heyday at this point, "Dancin'" would become Guy's highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 (and their only song to crack the top 40) to date, reaching #22 on that chart. It was also a top 5 hit on the R&B chart.

    I keep on dancin', dancin'.
    Nothing left to say, nothing left to do.
    I find myself alone, I'm thinking just of you.
    You got me dancin', dancin'.
    Why don't you help me? Why don't you guide me?
    Why don't you promise? To stand beside me.
    There was a man in a foreign land, in love with a woman that didn't understand.
    Love is not a thing you command, love is something that keeps you and keeps you.
    Dancin', dancin'.
    Why don't you help me? Why don't you guide me?
    Why don't you promise? To stand beside me.
    I keep on dancin', dancin'.
    Nothing left to say, nothing left to do.
    I find myself alone, thinking just of you.
    You've got me dancin', dancin'.
    Why don't you help me? Why don't you guide me?
    Why don't you promise? To stand beside me.
    Dancin', dancin', dancin', you've got me, ohhhh, help me!
    Guide me, why don't you promise, to stand beside me.
