| Description: | Sound quality is poor. LE SUPPLICE DE LA DANSE (aka NEW YORK BROOKLYN MARATHON DANCE) People dance until they drop - quite literally - for a prize at the dance marathon. Brooklyn, New York, United States of America (USA). Couples dancing in a dance marathon after 1400 hours. Many of the dancers are virtually asleep on their feet. One man gets his hair cut while he dances. Out of focus shot of audience (joke - this is how they look to a tired dancer). Shots of dancers resting on small beds, one of them is woken up by an attendant after his 11 minuets per hour rest is over. People dancing while eating. A man dancing with a chair. More shots of exhausted people dancing. | |
