Professional dancer Oti Mabuse returns for a second series of Oti Mabuse’s Dancing Legends and looks at the performers and choreographers who have made a huge impact on the world of dance. In this episode, actress and entertainer Ruthie Henshall joins Oti to talk about her own career and to nominate her dancing legend. Ruthie is an Olivier award winner whose long and varied career has included stage roles in Chicago, Miss Saigon and Cats. And the person she champions as her inspiration is the director and choreographer, Bob Fosse. Fosse, who won an Oscar, Tony and Emmy award in the same year, created a body of work which is still celebrated decades after his death. Ruthie and Oti explore his dazzling career with archive clips and the expert help of author, Sam Wasson. And then Oti heads to the dance studio to learn a dance routine inspired by the style of Bob Fosse with the help of dancer Jazmine JT.
