Girls Dance at the World’s Fair

2026 10mMovie

There are two particularly striking dance sequences in Medicus's footage. One section shows pairs of young people—mostly pairs of women—exuberantly jitterbugging and Lindy-hopping to live brass accompaniment, seemingly spontaneously though many of the pairs have come in matching outfits. Elsewhere, topless burlesque dancers in sequined skirts spin in a hall of mirrors, multiplying them hundreds of times "from every conceivable angle," as advertised.
