Summary
NoS Summary - Helen May and Pupils dressed in Greek tunics dancing.
British Pathe synopsis: Group of women dance in a country house garden setting. They are dressed in flowing dresses with headbands. They dance in bare feet. Very stylised movements. One dancer carries a lyre to signify ancient Greece. A solo dancer wears a leopard skin and dances with wild abandon ending in a "faint". A small child signifying "Cupid" dances amongst the troupe and wakes the main dancer with a kiss. More wild dancing ensues.
