| Description: | IMPORTED ART Dancers Myrio, Desna & Barte (2 male & 1 female, origin unknown) perform an interpretation of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. "Imported Action. This is from the Kit Cat Cabaret in London." Dance is like the music which inspired it in that it combines classical (ballet) and modern styles, w/ some acrobatics tossed in. Includes some wild & dramatic movements, the woman lifted/leaping into strange positions, nearly dropped to the floor, and even thrown from one man to the other! In one interesting bit of choreography she seems to use mens arms as uneven parallel bars! Ends w/ slow-motion replay of the part where she is thrown from one to the other. Potted palms, low white fence and huge curtains in BG. | |
