Poise And Balance (1930)

Sir Paul Dukes, Mme Nicolaeva and Serge Renoff are the dancers featured in this story. We see the three of them in a large garden doing headstands. They move their legs around with poise and balance. The slow camera is used to analyse the dancers movements. Mme Nicolaeva does a spin we see it in slow motion. She then does the splits and her male partner does a turn. The male dancer lifts Mme Nicolaeva and spins her around in the air. Sir Paul Dukes does a handstand, forward and backwards rolls and other fancy stuff. Presumably these dancers are ballet dancers.
