| Description: | DANCE, GYPSY, DANCE A colony of gypsies on the roof of a New York tenement building sing and watch a girl dance. New York, United States of America. Good shot of a New York street in a poor district of the city; people walk along. Camera tilts up from another shot of the street to show a group of large group of gypsies standing on a fire escape and waving. We then see a bigger crowd of gypsies standing on the roof and fire escape of a tenement building, watching a gypsy girl dance to traditional music. A large man does his own little jig in a corner. Several good shots of gypsies clapping, singing and moving to the music. An older woman smoking a pipe shimmies her shoulders. | |
