VIDEO: So You Think You Can Bottle Dance? Take FIDDLER ON THE ROOF's Tutorial

It's been said that director/choreographer Jerome Robbins crashed a lot of Orthodox Jewish weddings when he was researching his dances for the original Broadway production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. At one of them he was not only delighted at the sight of a gregarious gentlemen entertaining attendees by pretending to be drunk while balancing a bottle on his head, but was inspired to create a unison dance for an ensemble of men to perform at the first act's climactic wedding scene.

The bottle dance has become one of Broadway's most iconic dance moments, thrilling audiences with its exacting maneuvers and frustrating high school and community theatre performers who try doing it without a bit of cheating.
