which description best characterizes ginger rogers dance style and contribution to the famous partnership with her main collaborator?
heavy emphasis on floor work and painful, emotional modern dance movement
smooth, sophisticated ballroom dance blended with tap and jazz rhythms
raw, street - based energy that incorporated gang movements and finger snaps
improvisational solos that were never repeated or filmed twice

Explanation:

Ginger Rogers was known for her partnership with Fred Astaire. Their dance style was a blend of smooth ballroom (like the waltz, tango) with elements of tap (the rhythmic footwork) and jazz (syncopated rhythms). Floor - work and modern dance (with its emotional, often angular movements) was more associated with dancers like Martha Graham. Raw, street - based energy with gang movements is not characteristic of their elegant style. Improvisational solos that were never repeated were not a main feature of their collaborative work which was often choreographed for films.

Answer:

Smooth, sophisticated ballroom dance blended with tap and jazz rhythms.
