CURRENT CHOREOGRAPHY AND CLASSICS

Note from Howard: I regularly add material to this page. Nearly all of these are low-tech videos and mainly for my students (as opposed to something that the archivists at the Smithsonian would want).  The routines are listed by name in alphabetical order. The most popular videos, predictably, are the Shim Sham, 1927 BS Chorus and Eddie Brown BS Chorus.
