Cars gave people the freedom to go anywhere they pleased and do what they pleased. What many young people wanted to do was dance: the Charleston, the cake walk, the black bottom, and the flea hop were the most popular dances around this time. Jazz bands played at dance halls like the Savoy in New York City and the Aragon in Chicago. Radio stations carried their tunes to listeners across the nation. Some older people objected to jazz music’s “Lacking good taste” and “Moral Corruption”, but the younger generation loved the freedom they felt on the dance floor. Many americans were uncomfortable with the new urban racy culture/environment. The 1920 's brought more conflict than celebration did. The 1920 's heralded a dramatic break between the past as well as the future of america. This decade is the same decade that was witness to urbanism and modernism which also introduced the KKK (Ku-Klux-Klan), Nativism, and modernism.

With the way technology is now “if it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.” says Frank Lloyd Wright. In other words, he is saying that some people would prefer to let every other limb in their body go to wasted and deteriorate, but they would be content since they would still have their finger to use a phone and or computer with. The way technology is advertised in today’s society has pressured its audience to feel as if they have to keep up and move at the speed that it develops in order to fit in to the society.

Years later, Fosse confessed that the bowler hats were used to camouflage his own receding hairline, the gloves to hide inarticulate hands, and the bowed legs a result of his not being able to get himself into a proper ballet turnout. “I was always very bad in class,” he admitted to Dance Magazine in 1975 (Gottfried). To compensate for his shortcomings, “I used to work on other areas, such as rhythm, style of movement, and taking ordinary steps and giving them some little extra twist or turn. And I guess my ‘style’ came about mainly as a result of my own limitations as a dancer” (Gottfried). The Pajama Game, with numbers such as “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway,” became an enormous Broadway hit, leading to another Abbott–Robbins–Fosse collaboration, Damn Yankees (1955), and introducing Fosse to the show’s star, Gwen Verdon, who would have a profound effect on his life and career. Verdon became his foremost interpreter in the musicals New Girl in Town (1957), Redhead (1959), Sweet Charity (1966), and Chicago (1975) (Gottfried).

The “Summer Solstice Jazz Festival,” is the event that I have choice to attend and examine. This event occurred June 17th – June 18th, and was displayed in Downtown East Lansing. The artist performed authentic and classic pieces, which the pool of performers ranged from local/ national artist. What I found to be most interesting about the performance was the multitude or artist that performed his or her own pieces and the quality of their work. This experienced exposed me to the work that it actually takes to bring together a performance, meaning not just the music but also the choreography. I enjoyed the performance because it exposed me to new upcoming artist, which musical pieces encourage positivity.
