Filmed in Edison's New York City studio. A man in formal dinner clothes and a woman in a white ruffled dress with a flower corsage and white shoes execute various dance steps designed as exhibition dancing. The set is bare, without backdrops or props. The couple's feet are not evident at times in the frame, and the dance appears to have been shot in relatively slow motion. ***Slow motion photography is not evident until the man jumps in the air and clicks his heels together. He hangs in the air for a second, indicating slow motion.***
