Summary

NoS Summary - Santos Casani and Jose Lennard dance the ‘Sugar Step’.
British Pathe synopsis: Santos Casani and Jose Lennard demonstrate the Sugar Step in L/S on a stage set - or perhaps the dance floor of a club. We then see the four basic steps in C/U. We then have "A close analysis of the "sugar stick." (Watch your balance.)" then the turn "(Don’t bring your weight too much on right foot when closing, Adam!)" We then see the footwork through a glass floor. The cameraman shoots the steps from underneath.
