Pardon the plug, but this segment can only be appreciated by Broadway fans.
While Denis Jones was in town choreographing a new Frank Loesser show, I challenged him to a Broadway/Pop Culture Dance-off.
Watch video below:

Thanks Joey for this fun little segment. I was hoping that he'd ask you to dance something from "Chicago"...like the opening from "All That Jazz" (the hand sunburst and pippin). Roman in Austin, Texas (sort of a big fan of "Chicago")

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Thanks, Roman.
Yeah, I'm surprised no CHICAGO moves. The Turkey Lurkey almost sank me.

So Denis Jones is not only an amazing talent, but quite a good sport as well. 2014 looked like a breakout year for Denis - choreographer for Honeymoon In Vegas and director / choreographer for Piece of My Heart (for which he just received a Lucille Lortel nomination). Thanks for sharing this great clip, Joey!

I agree. He's not only a great talent and a good sport, but he's a smart artist.
In addition to his theater work, I also think he has a future in the talk show circuit. He's fun on camera!

Feel free to come and plug us again, Joey.
And we don't just say that to every blogger. As a matter of fact, we never say that to ANY blogger.
But try doing this for your next dance-off:

Ok PalJoey. The Nitty Gritty is fabulous, but I'm betting if that had come up... we both would've lost!
