You may not recognize his name, but Buddy Bradley was an artistic genius whose talent reshaped Broadway musicals, the West End, jazz dance, and classical ballet, creating a new language of movement that endures today. American dance history has long overlooked Black performers and choreographers, but Buddy Bradley taught white stars such as Eleanor Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Adele Astaire and influenced every major choreographer who followed, including George Balanchine, Frederick Ashton, Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, and Bob Fosse. We speak to Maureen Footer who wrote "Feel the Floor: Restoring the Life and Legacy of Jazz Choreographer Buddy Bradley" to shine light on this incredible choreographer. https://maureenfooter.net/about/books/feel-the-floor-restoring-the-life-and-legacy-of-jazz-choreographer-buddy-bradley/ Find the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Feel-Floor-Restoring-Choreographer-Bradley/dp/0807045241
