\n\tSome things—like Fosse’s iconic choreography—never go out of style. One of the latest trends to take over TikTok is the #FosseChallenge, where everyone from pro dancers to amateurs are taking a stab at moves from Sweet Charity<\/em>‘s “Rich Man’s Frug.” Even some original Fosse performers have been getting in on the action.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn what seems to be the genesis of the TikTok trend, Ballet de l’Opéra national du Rhin dancer and choreographer Pierre-Emile Lemieux-Venne<\/a>, known on the platform for re-creating popular movie and music video sequences, posted a clip of himself dancing The Aloof from “Rich Man’s Frug.” He’d been asked to “make this the next TikTok dance,” a request we fully support.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tC’est tellement un mood! 💎✨ J’ADORE #bobfosse 💙 Ça me fait rire à quel point je me prends au sérieux 😅 #fosse #sweetcharity #richmansfrug #60s\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tThen Mark S. Hoebee<\/a>, who danced in a touring production of Sweet Charity <\/em> and is now the producing artistic director of Papermill Playhouse, did a duet with Pierre-Emile. Of course, then everyone wanted to duet with Mark.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
