Dancing round the world

Danses algeriennes 1. Danse des Ouled-Naid (1902)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is an early short film. We see short clips of a few different types of dancers from different nationalities.

The hand tinting adds a nice tough to this otherwise not very remarkable short. While the dancing styles are some what interesting there is not much of them and little connection between them. As a piece of historical record this is probably better than as an entertainment film.
