| Description: | DANCE POETRY Elegant dance routine performed by girls in flimsy frocks - Ancient Greek style movements. Grecian inspired dance from this era with girls in flowing white garments skipping about like nymphs in a garden. United Kingdom WS 10 young women posing in various positions in front of a semi-circle of pillars in garden. They begin to wave their arms gracefully, then all move back and form their own semi-circle standing at arms length from each other in front of the pillars. They are wearing camisole-like tops and transparent slit skirts over white leotards. MLS 3 women stop, frozen like statues while 2 others twirl around. Then all start moving again; woman in FG prancing back and forth. Back to WS of girls dancing and posing in different formations. LS girls posing like statues - 2 girls kneel facing each other on either side of girl standing with arms uplifted. More motionless girls posing in BG. Another girl comes dancing into FG. She leaps about, twirls around in front of the living statues. Suddenly they come to life and go running back to the girls in BG. WS dancers skip along in 2 lines, the lines criss-cross, and they all end up doing an ancient Grecian version of a kickline. LS girls all pirouette, then come running toward camera with floating arms, and pose in a symmetrical tableau, some sitting on grass in front, others behind them in various postures with arms outstretched. | |
