This tiny film starts off with yes, ladies dancing, more classical ballet, but there's some freeform nutty style dancing (which I love). Then the film bizarrely goes off into couples dancing, each one of them has an arguement with different results. Wait, what? lol It's almost a 1920s style "Dating Do's and Don'ts"
