In this video, we’ll study some movements inspired by Daisy Richardson, looking at footage from the 1940s. Richardson appears in the 1946 film Jivin’ in Be-Bop, a variety film featuring Dizzy Gillespie and his orchestra, alongside several dancers.

I love this footage especially her coolness.

We’ll break down some of her movements and explore how to keep the rhythm while playing with the upper body.
