Choreographing 'Hamilton': The Meaning Behind the Moves 

Or Satisfied.

That Burr is drunk on jealousy so he danced "off balance" around and jump on a table?

Maggie Magpie in a ham4ham video on RU-vid he does a bit off the dance from the room where it happens. It is on the Hamilton Channel

aw no, but he does do yorktown choreography in that vid!

Maggie Magpie SAME!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The choreo in this show feels so inauthentic to me, though. Like it's trying too hard and lacks the rawness of hip hop.

you may be right, but they also have to tell a very specific story out there. They're not freestyling so of course it will lose some authenticity. on top of that they have to sing

+Bobby Gomez You have a good point about singing. But in terms of storytelling look at lyrical hip hop like Nappytabs. This is just missing something.

Bobby Gomez as a hip pop dancer this video is the simplest form of hip pop and almost disgraceful....but as broadway it's perfect

He and Lin really found each other.

They all are Like seriously All of them

Yes

PORQUE LO HACES FEO

Yes you will and I believe in you!

I believe in you ^-^

Trust me, the ensemble is AMAZING. I wasn't in a Broadway play, but I have been in the ensemble in other plays (small ones in my area) and you wont regret it!

me as well. SEE YOU AT THE THEATRE

Same! Haha

THEY DO WHAT NOW

Kaitlyn of SovereignChild Inc wait what??!!! what does it represent??

@@mmx123 It shows how Hamilton sees many different opportunities and ideas while Burr doesn't

Isabella Hirt wow!! I never realized! it's great to see to how much thought is put into the production including the minor details. Thank you so much for sharing this fact with me :)

Howard Ho does a video series about how the music works, but also discusses all the subtle things that subconsciously create a sense of character. Like how George Washington raps directly on the beat, because he thinks more methodically.

Master class?

well, yeah! choreography has been an art for centuries

I absolutely LOVE the Yorktown choreography

thepurlfisher dance still isn't perceived on the same level as other art forms, sadly

thepurlfisher People fail to see just how important choreography is on stage

many fans (me included) haven't even seen the show, only heard the lyrics

I've seen the show online, the choreography is good but imo it just feels like nothing compared with Lin's contributions. It's an entirely functional and brilliant piece without any of the dancing choreography. I'm probably in the minority but I would almost like it more without the background dancers and with all the characters being unusually animated with their movements but not actually dancing.

where did you watch it online? I haven't been able to find it and I am helplesss

zephyr_92 The movie will probably be out by then.

movie?

I don't think it will be on Broadway by then

idk who to stan anymore I disagree

Look for the lottery

panicatdx I completely agree with you. I do want to add though that in addition to Andy, the fact that Lin found Tommy Kail and Alex Lac, what an amazing ensemble of talented, dedicated men. And as hard as you know they work, is there ever a second they don't look like they're just a bunch of teenagers having a blast? Alex is constantly grinning from ear to ear. And with Tommy's genius vision, Lin's relentlessness in his work, Andy's amazing ability to interpret lyrics and put them on their feet, while all being so relatively young. We should see some very amazing pieces of art for many years to come. And how blessed are we for that. Or as a genius wrote "how lucky we are to be alive right now"

I also noticed that...

H. Akb Yeah, he literally did in “The World Was Wide Enough”. He aimed towards the sky and shot a tree branch in his duel against Burr, which ultimately lead to his death.

But the ensemble has their fists closed do you think that means anything? Lin made the gun with his finger and then pulled the trigger

Your past patiently waiting now! 😂 Sorry I had to make a reference.

Lin-Manuel Miranda said that the OBC recording will be on theatres next year!

yes
