Dance Style Bennett had a similar contemporary style to Bob Fosse. However, he wasn't able to make his style very recognizable when he first started professionally. Over time, he focused on movements to work on characterzation. Such as making his movements to be more Jazzy, balletic, romantic, angular, athletic, or even a little bumbling.
