Dance sequence from a feature-length, fiction film. Three young girls dressed in white dance with see-through viels in front of a gauze curtain [frame scan 1]. Then the curtain in the background lifts to clear the view for a small dancefloor. Well-dressed men storm into the centre frame, the young girls clear away and we see an elegant group dancing [frame scan 2]. Steam and konfetti, jolly atmosphere. From the sides a young couple comes into frame. They talk, and walk back out of frame from the centre [frame scan 3]. Further dancing goes on in the background, meanwhile.
