Girls Dance at the World’s Fair

Storyline

There are two particularly striking dance sequences in Medicus's footage. One section shows pairs of young people—mostly pairs of women—exuberantly jitterbugging and Lindy-hopping to live brass accompaniment, seemingly spontaneously though many of the pairs have come in matching outfits. Elsewhere, topless burlesque dancers in sequined skirts spin in a hall of mirrors, multiplying them hundreds of times "from every conceivable angle," as advertised.
