Summary

NoS synopsis: "Far away in Florida where they specialise in beach babies..." L/S of group of a dozen bathing belles dancing on a beach. They dance with their backs to each other in a circle, arms linked. They then form a line and dance along the beach. "These "babies" are grown up - but they spend hours a day keeping their beauty weight." The girls stand in a line and pass a beach ball over their heads. High angle shot of the girls performing this fun exercise. High angle shot of a high kick routine, the girls stand in a line and kick behind. They then form a circle and do a little dance. "If the last doesn’t suffice, they try the cave-man stuff." A man stands on the beach as the tide comes in around his feet. One of the dancers jumps into his arms and he throws her up in the air and around his body - acrobatic stuff.
