Fact, The Canada Council / The Ontario Arts Council Canada "Let your weight rest on your right foot. Now lean softly on your partner's shoulder. Off we go. Keep the time without forgetting the steps. Slow, slow - quick, quick, slow." The camera plunges over the turntable, which is playing a record for learning the mambo, the tango, and fox trot. It captures an evening of demonstration in a society dance school. Given the chance, everyone interprets the step chart according to his or her personal temperament. The camera chooses the most extreme cases, allowing the solitary partners to sink in the background. [ back to the list ]
