| Description: | INDIAN RUBBER MUSCLES The talented Miss Reita Nugent does acrobatic dance. Very flexible dancer Reita Nugent (?) performs an acrobatic dance. She enters stage via cartwheel into a sliding split. She stands up, does a mock curtsy, & goes into her dance. She's wearing a dress made to look like a jumper over a white blouse w/ a princess collar and ruffled front; a flared knee-length skirt; also a checked scarf tied round her head- -it all looks like some sort of ethnic costume. Dance steps incl.high kicks and twirls, w/ acrobatic tricks incorporated into the choreography. Sometimes reminiscent of a marionette. LS she walks on her hands while moving her legs in a wide scissors kick; her skirt hangs down over her head and she wears short shorts. Shot from above of her doing this- -rather risque! Back to LS from stage. Next she goes into a series of fast walkovers one over the other, so that she resembles a human wheel turning round and round. Slow-motion repeat of section of dance in which Miss Nugent does a series of leaps/turns around the stage in a circle. Cont. w / more slo-mo on handsprings, walkovers. entertainment, gymnastics, skill, stunts | |
