| Description: | VARIETY IN DANCE STEPS Three styles of dancing are contrasted - Grecian, ballroom and ballet. Longest section is modern dance. Danced by members of the Faculty of Arts. United Kingdom Ballroom dancing couple (she wearing knee-length fringed skirt) dancing in high-ceiling room near very tall doors out onto terrace; nice look w/ light coming in from outdoors into the dim interior. Then this couple fades away & a row of women in Grecian-inspired costumes - loose short dresses, headbands & bare feet - come slowly dancing in hand in hand, swinging their arms and legs. Next we see the women dancing outdoors round a huge old tree. Film trick: MS women leaping from either side toward center, but disappearing as they reach the center. Finally, LS ballerina in traditional costume with big white skirt, dancing on lawn beside end of building w/ pillars rising up from a rounded terrace. | |
