As the credits roll at the end of a film, the names of the stars, producer, director, composer, lyricist and other production personnel are prominently displayed. But one of the most important crew members is often hard to find -- the choreographer. Though they may have taught Fred and Ginger a few steps or put together a dance for a large cast of nondancers, the people who make the pictures move have often been overlooked by filmmakers and film historians alike. This is a comprehensive reference work to 970 choreographers who worked in nearly 3,500 films. For each, there is a biography providing date and place of birth (and death when appropriate), a description of their choreographic style and a listing of their stage, television, music video, nightclub and concert credits. This is followed by a listing of the movies they choreographed. A decade-by-decade history of dance on film and a filmography of choreographically important works in each decade are included.
