For the third time, in six months, I will be making a return appearance to the Sky Room of Huntington’s leading film theatre, The Cinema Arts Centre, where I will be presenting Gene Kelly: Dance For The Common Man. Throughout his career, Gene Kelly wanted to create an American dance style. He certainly did this, and as Bob Fosse once said, Gene Kelly was like the guy on your local bowling team, only classier. Gene Kelly once said that while Fred Astaire was the aristocracy of dance, Gene was the proletariat. In this program, we will view some of the noteworthy ballet sequences, from such films as The Pirate, Words and Music, On The Town, An American In Paris, and Singin’ In The Rain. What will be seen thoughout the program on May 19th at 7:30PM, is that Gene Kelly advanced the genre of dance in the musical film. He made it an art form!
