Global Trickeration Project - Houston, Texas 2019

Houston's contribution to the Global Trickeration project honoring Norma Miller's 100th birthday. The Trickeration routine as it was taught by Norma, is a routine that Norma "borrowed" from the chorus dancers at Harlem's Apollo theatre probably around the mid 1930’s. The piece of the routine that Norma used and taught is only a part of a larger original routine that has been lost to time. Norma often used the routine, or pieces of the routine, similarly to the way tap dancers use the B.S. chorus. It served to fill in spaces in her choreography and as a go-to foundation for classic Jazz steps. Norma also used it as an audition piece for the Norma Miller dancers and as a piece intermixed with other Lindy and Jazz choreography she assembled over the years.
