Beginning with the 2017 season (football season that is), the National Football League has relaxed its rules regarding celebratory touchdown dances. For years, the League forbade excessive celebration, and players abided for fear of penalty. But now, the NFL says players are free to dance.
So far, no players have taken advantage of their newfound freedom, so the Wall Street Journal called in the experts: choreographers.
Kelly Devine, a Tony nominee for her choreography of Broadway鈥檚 Come From Away, calls her dance 鈥淭he Grip.鈥� Prior to Come From Away, Devine worked on Broadway鈥檚 Jersey Boys and Memphis as the associate choreographer and has choreographed Broadway鈥檚 Rock of Ages, Rocky, and Doctor Zhivago. Aside from the football field, look out for her upcoming work in this spring鈥檚 Escape to Margaritaville.
