(One of three clips) A clip of a group of girls dressed in day gowns in a balletic dance in a garden setting, later joined in dance by a man in a tuxedo. The clip begins with five girls twirling around one in the center in a LS. With a quick cut to s MS we see the girl in the center separate the girls around her. Back to the LS, the girls sit down as one puts a piece of fabric around the eyes of another, with a MS offering a closer look. She frowns, then in LS we see her trying to touch the other dancers, who run away. This continues for some time, with some medium and wide shots in between to vary composition. In a LS with the camera in a new location, a man dressed in a tuxedo walks in on the girls from the left. He tells them what to do in their dance, and in WS we see them all bow before beginning a new dance as the clip ends.
