Summary

NoS Summary - Kathleen Dorian and her daughter Joan dance in a garden.
NoS synopsis: "Dance poses by Miss Kathleen Dorian." "Three teeny weeny years ..." A mother and daughter in ballet tutus pick flowers on a riverbank. "And such a lot ot learn!" The mother teaches the daughter some ballet steps in a clearing. The little girl points her legs and dances around copying her mother. They do pirouettes and prance around. ""I fink I must have growed four legs! They do get in the way!"." More shots of the two dancing, this time it looks like nightfall - low light. "But, tiny Joan betrayed a little Jazz influence when she tried the next". Her mother sits on the grass and watches whilst she goes through her paces. When her routine has ended she performs a wobbly curtsey. End shot shows mother holding daughter in her arms. Mother kisses daughter and they smile at the camera.
