- Summary
- British Pathe synopsis: A novel dance is presented by Renee Lemoine and Danny Fer of "Playtime at the Piccadilly" cabaret. This is a dance where Renne swirls around and around with a large skirt flowing all around her. Danny has a cloak which he also swirls around. "Slowed, the flowing skirt and cloak form graceful waves." We see the dance in slow motion. They then perform a dramatic Tango. The Tango includes lifts, spins and swirls. Renee’s dress is white on top with a dark lining which adds to the dramatic effect. The dance ends with Renee doing the splits and a grand flourish. We then see more dancing in slow motion with the skirt and cloak swirling.
