Anyone know where I can find some videos of Michael Bennett dancing? I've searched high and low online and have found one Hullabaloo video -- I know I have seen others somewhere, but can't remember where. Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!

A work of art is an invitation to love.

Thank you for that--your post led me to this brilliant dance to the Batman theme. I want to think Bennett choreographed--it has a lot of his same steps he would use later, particularly in Tick-Tock, but it's hard to say since so much of that dance vocabulary came out of 60s jazz dance.

This is a great one that features "Mike" Bennett, Donna McKechnie, Suzanne Charney (Rich Man's Frug lead dancer in the film of Sweet Charity), Patrick Adiarte (The King and I and Flower Drum Song films), etc.

A great showcase for them here. Introduced by Dean Jones (who mispronounces his future "Company" co-star Donna McKechnie's last name).

That's awesome! Especially Donna's solo. Rob Ashford clearly studied these for nearly all of his steps...

I love Donna's solo here, followed by Michael's, and for a brief moment they dance together.

Legendary.

I recommend watching all 170 minutes of the Dancers Over 40 tribute to Michael. It's in 17 10-minutes parts on YouTube, and it's filled with clips, anecdotes and remembrances,

Here's Part 1:
