Fosse's dance style is instantly recognizable. It's a dance for the eye, a dance about the body. The curve of the hips against the slope of a shoulder and the elongated neck, the arm and wrist out to the splayed fingers. The hunched upper back and the swinging bumping pelvis. The slinky walk that sinks into the floor. The gestures that stay tight around the body, the feet that slide in curves along the floor. And the provocative way the dancers project it all, full into the face of the audience or in sharp, angular profile. There was almost always tension in his chore

People say Fosse developed the style as a defense counter his self-consciousness about not being a perfectly turned-out dancer.

Perhaps one of my favorite Fosse numbers of all time is “Rich Man’s Frug”. The whole mood of this movement is absolutely breathtaking, from the costumes to the cigarettes and the long ponytail that swing from Charity’s head. Ann Reinking described a perhaps definitive Fosse number: "Rich Man's Frug."

"It's very chic, all these gorgeous people at a cocktail party, well-dressed. It's quite comedic as well as sexy and fun. They're all in black, you know, but in very tight black dresses and crushed-velvet tuxedos ...and they get into what we called the 'Fosse amoeba,' where about a dozen kids got bunched up and start to move laterally across the stage. You're in a tight group, and you stay together, and your feet are shuffling together. But there are all these different appendages flying out. We also called it the 'Fosse clump' in case somebody didn't know what an amoeba was."
