Bob Fosse had that going on in the movie All That Jazz, which was about 10 years earlier.

U can see her influence on Janet's early choreography. And that violin breakdown was 🔥

She was Janet's choreographer.

[@natalieholley2524]

Violin break was and still is my fave part. Gives me goosebumps every time!!!

[@moxyblackfiddler]

They weren't actually violins. Just a synthesizer mimicking the sound. I get a slight giggle and cringe watching the "violinists" and "cellists" pretending to play. The holding of their instruments, bowing, and placements of fingers. I can't unsee.

Simply brilliant choreography. Still sexier than anything else out there and without nudity. It's not about skin; it's about attitude.
