Broadway dancer photo Walt Disney choreographer Dee Dee Wood NYC photo by Amdur

Description: Relaxed cute young broadway dancer pin-up of famed dancer Disney choreographer Dee Dee Wood by Harry Amdur NYC, gritty Modernage Studio quality. Later choreographed Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang etc. About Dee Dee: Wood first appeared as a dancer on Broadway in Can-Can in 1953, and worked as an Assistant to Michael Kidd on L'il Abner (1956) and Destry Rides Again (1959) and was the choreographer (with husband Breaux) for Do Re Mi (1960).From 1964 to 1970, Wood and Breaux were the choreographers for the legendary weekly musical revue "The Hollywood Palace."[4] It was from working with Dick Van Dyke on "Palace" that the married duo got their start in film musicals. The famous TV comedian recommended them for Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews; they received glowing reviews for the innovative "Step In Time" number where chimney sweeps dance across London rooftops.Wood and Beaux continued their success with the choreography for The Sound Of Music. Wood and her partner had several challenges: adapting the stage's dance numbers to a wide range of Salzberg locations; working with seven child actors (six under the age of 13) and being limited to using only arrangements from the original stage musical as specified by Rodgers and Hammerstein contract.[6] Wood developed a traditional Austrian folk dance, the Ländler, for Julie Andrews's Maria and Christopher Plummer's Captain von Trapp, in such a way that the actors, wordlessly, grow closer and closer until, as Wood put it, "we know, and they know, that they love each other."[7]Wood choreographed other popular film musicals, including Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang again with Dick Van Dyke, and Beaches with Bette Midler. As her work gravitated toward television, Wood won an Emmy nomination in 1975 for her choreography on the TV special of Cher. Wood also discovered a special ability for choreographing live TV spectaculars, such as Super Bowl halftime shows and the Opening Ceremony of the 1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles, which earned her another Emmy nomination in choreography.In 1987, Wood won the Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography for ABC's "Liberty Weekend 1986 - Closing Ceremonies," commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, with its glorious fireworks over New York Harbor.About Harry Amdur: Harry Amdur (1922-2005), the longtime co-owner of Modernage Photo Services, NY, a leading custom photo lab that specialized in large-scale murals, museum-quality printing, theatrical head-shots and the various needs of photojournalists. Harry was an active member of the Photo Historical Society of NY, the Circle of Confusion, the Photo Administrators Inc. and other trade groups.
