| Description: | BUDDING BALLERINAS Young girls practice ballet steps en masse on a roof top. WS from high above: large class of young girls (titles say ages 6-12) dancing in rows on a roof. A statue and official looking building in BG. The type of dance is not ballet, however, but show biz stuff with elements of jazz & tap. LS girls dancing in 2 long kicklines. They all wear identical short sleeveless dresses with shorts underneath. LS tilt down: girls doing dance steps in unison - choreography seems to involve a lot of pulling their dresses up! WS tilt down girls winding around the roof in a long line, holding onto each other's waists as they kick out from side to side. MS tilt up on same dance as girls pass by camera kicking - a lot of legs. MLS tilt down same; some of the girls in this shot look like teenagers. Acrobatics class. WS tilt down: girls in shorts and tank tops practice doing cartwheels across the roof. Younger girls' class - here are the 6 year olds. Girls dance around in a circle holding each other's waists & doing simple dance steps. An adult instructor stands at the side demonstrating steps to them. MS of the little girls dancing. MCU girls' feet stomping in place at fast speed. MLS looking along row of girls continuing this fast high stepping. | |
