transcribed steps for the dance sequence?


Hi,

Bit of a random question -

Does anyone know of a website or resource which has transcribed the steps in the sequence Fred dances with Eleanor Powell?

Any info would be muchly appreciated! :)

No, but I'd be interested in it as well.

I don't know for a fact whether they have it, but I would definitely start with an enquiry to the Dance Collection, a part of the New York City Public Library, at Lincoln Center. They have all sorts of things there, in the Dance Collection, choreographers scores and such. My late mother-in-law ran the Dance Collection, when it was at the main building on Fifth Av. at 42nd St. before they moved to Lincoln Center in the 60s. It is an incredible resource. If anyone committed this routine's steps and choreography to a score, they would more than likely have it there.
