The dance at the end looks like an early form of swing dancing. If anyone knows what that dance was called, please post it. As for the date of the film, based on the tiered, slightly shorter dress that one of the women is wearing, it looks more like 1915.

Interesting film that shows couples dancing in a dance hall, I wonder what kind of music they were playing? They seemed just a wee bit too self-restrained for jazz, maybe ordinary big-band? I don't know. I'd love for some sort of historian to come on here and straighten me out. Anyways, after a lively dance routine, we get a pair of (special atttraction?) dancers who perform a bit more complicated routine, and that gets everyone applauding. Oh yes, a dog somehow wanders in...
