| Description: | STEEL TOES Dick and Edith Barstow do a dance routine en pointe. United Kingdom Dancer Dick Barstow stands on top of grand piano, en pointe in toe shoes like a ballerina. He jumps off the piano and lands on the floor, still up on his toes. He stays up on his toes all the while as he prances up a small set of 6 steps, turns sideways on the top step and squats while kicking out alternate legs like a Russian dancer, then descends the steps in this manner. Next Dick is joined by his sister Edith, and they perform a dance routine together. The steps are more like jazz or tap but all done on their toes. They dance their way up & down the steps with identical movements. MCU their legs from knee down. Back to MLS: the brother & sister team descend the steps again, twirl around and take a deep bow, with Edith grinning and chuckling. | |
