Thanks to a brilliant choreographer (who understands old style vaudeville dancing) and brilliant performers, this is the best version of "Very Soft Shoes" on RUclips. Would love to see the rest of what looks like an outstanding production of this show.
Who came up with -this- arrangement? This is brilliant! If the stage can't take the ten or fifteen dancers to do the usual choreography, this is a great way to do the piece.
I did high school musicals for five years, from 8th to senior year - our choreography was never this good. Of course the fact that we had exactly 3 trained dancers in any given cast didn't help. These young performers (particularly "Sliding Peter Jingle") were excellent!
I am far from sentimental or romantic And I like to think I stricty up to date But at times the dancing gets a bit too frantic in these hecktic days of 1428 So indulge me as I pause to raise my chalice To a quaint and charming dance they used to do In the days when my dear father played the palace Back in 1392 My dad was debonair and quite as light as air In his very soft shoes How he could dip and glide And skip and slip and slide In his very soft shoes I used to stand and watch him everyday He was always smooth and cool I used to love to hear the people say He's a regular dancing fool He barely touched the ground And never made a sound But I've noticed in all his reviews That when he took his bow to the crowd and the crown The crowd went crazy and the house came down When Daddy wore his very soft shoes [musical interlude] And when he took his bow to the crowd and the crown The crowd went crazy and the house came down When Daddy wore his very soft shoes

That dancer was incredible
As Lawrence Welk would say, Wonderful, Wonderful Wonderful. This had to have been the highlight of this schools production. Great job guys.

Who are the performers? I see no description.

I am far from sentimental or romantic
And I like to think I stricty up to date
But at times the dancing gets a bit too frantic
in these hecktic days of 1428
So indulge me as I pause to raise my chalice
To a quaint and charming dance they used to do
In the days when my dear father played the palace
Back in 1392
My dad was debonair and quite as light as air
In his very soft shoes
How he could dip and glide
And skip and slip and slide
In his very soft shoes
I used to stand and watch him everyday
He was always smooth and cool
I used to love to hear the people say
He's a regular dancing fool
He barely touched the ground
And never made a sound
But I've noticed in all his reviews
That when he took his bow to the crowd and the crown
The crowd went crazy and the house came down
When Daddy wore his very soft shoes
[musical interlude]
And when he took his bow to the crowd and the crown
The crowd went crazy and the house came down
When Daddy wore his very soft shoes
