Summary

Pathe Intertitles - "By Phyllis Haylor and Alec Millar, (Holders of Wolrd’s Ballroom Championship 1925 and World’s Tango Championsip 1924)."
"Few dances have aroused so much controversy as the Charleston. It has been both condemned and praised but, like most dances, depends on its exponents. Clumsy dancers will make a clumsy dance, for example -"
"If you only realised how clumsy you appeared you’d never dance like that" said Mr. Millar. This is how you throw your feet about -".
""You see?" "Now notice the difference when it is done properly"."

Researcher Comments

A short handwritten shot list is present in the Pathe boxfile, as is a photocopy of the programme for this dance demonstration, at the Grosvenor Ballroom and a list of the titles held by the couple.
