| Description: | THE ELASTIC DANCER Stunt dancer on stage in Paris, France. Funny india rubber man dance performed by "Le Danseur Elastique". Paris, France "Meet a gentleman with no bones to speak of - but a lot of movement." Man wearing double-breasted suit w/ baggy trousers, a bow-tie, & a boater hat, performs fast-paced novelty dance w/ fluid movements which do make it look as though he's made of elastic or rubber. Some of this double-jointed wonder's tricks include bouncing up and down w/ his thighs & knees turned inward and legs out at sides, "walking" and spinning around on bent legs, holding himself up by his jacket collar so that he looks like a marionette and a lot of shimmying. Slow-motion repeats of some parts. Entertainment, musical comedy, theatrical. | |
