- Summary
- British Pathe synopsis: C/U of a couple in a dance embrace - it is Maxwell Stewart and Pat Sykes. Another couple are seen - Victor and Mrs Silvester. Frank Ford and Molly Spain are next up. Santos Casani and Jose Lennard complete this star studded group of ballroom dancers, Phyllis Haylor and Alec Millar amongst them. Intertitle reads: "the dreamy languorous Tango is a distinctly refreshing change from the usual hustling, bustling dances - especially in the summer (if any)." L/S of all the couples dancing a Tango in a stage setting or perhaps at a club. Various steps are seen with the feet in C/U. Then one of the couples dances the whole routine slowly - we see only their feet. L/S of the couples dancing the Tango "As it should be danced."
