Summary

NoS Summary - Acrobatic dance performed by an unidentified couple.
British Pathe synopsis: "Part of a dancer’s life may be easy going, but when it comes to the acrobatic-treat-'em-rough style, life is hard - " A man dressed in a suit dances with a girl in a bathing suit style velvet costume. High angle shot of the couple as he holds her in the air - she bends over backwards. The dance involves various lifts, balances, jumps, twirls, etc. "There’s nothing quite like our Ultra Rapid Camera for smoothing down the rough edges, though - " Slow motion footage of the woman being twisted around the man’s body. Filmed in the Pathe Studio.
