| Description: | ALMA THE DANCER High kick routine by Alma Mackie. Alma Mackie does very wild and energetic routine which seems like a cross between aerobics class and gymnastics. She does this wearing a sparkling bikini top and a sheer white circle skirt w/ fringed tap pants underneath, a sparkly cloche hat tops off the look. After a bit of twirling she stands in center of stage and, holding the skirt's hem shoulder high, starts doing high kicks like a dancer in a chorus line. Then she faces away and does backward kicks with her feet touching her head. Next she bends over backward until her head touches floor, then slides into lying position. She reverses movements to get up. And starts kicking again to the front, the side, the back. Slow-motion of Alma doing this routine w/ kicks in all directions. Back to normal speed, standing on one leg, she lifts her other leg behind and bends torso forward, so that her legs form a straight vertical line. She goes into another kicking frenzy, then hops on one leg while holding other up by her head. Finally she does a walkover then drops to one knee. Slo-mo of some of this. Theatrical dance, acrobatics. | |
