The Busby Berkeley Blogathon

Introducing the Busby Berkeley Blogathon!

Hometowns to Hollywood is thrilled to present its first official blogathon, entitled “The Busby Berkeley Blogathon.” Busby Berkeley was an American director and choreographer known for devising elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns. His works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances. The Busby Berkeley Blogathon will run from January 25th through January 28th in 2018.

Rules and Information:

Bloggers are encouraged to write about any topic related to Busby Berkeley’s career and choreography in films.
Bloggers can feel free to write about a favorite Berkeley number, favorite stars who appear in his expertly-choreographed numbers, or any topic of interest that relates to Berkeley.
Because Berkeley had such a rich career and there are so many aspects of his work that are worth discussing. Where possible, try to avoid duplicate topics.
Bloggers will post their articles anytime between January 25th-28th and will alert me of the post either as a comment or through email.
