Gary Flannery

“Flannery is the only person who is licensed to teach Fosse choreography in an open class,” she marvels. “So we got to learn all the original choreography from Damn Yankees, from the Fosse show on Broadway, from All That Jazz. And we got history lesson, too, with all the stories from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s"– Kathy Valin, former dancer with Cincinnati Ballet
