Oh, the Belle Époque...

[MageReactor]

I could dance like that...if I wanted to.

What piece of music is this?

[Moonwater2000]

Very beautiful and nostalgic! Annabelle Moore is a beautiful woman, so graceful, elegant and charming with her dance moves. Amazing colorization of such a simple film, to show that technology has come a long way since this was made. I saw this short film on Turner Classic Movies and fell in love with its beauty. I love how historical this film is.

Can you imagine what the people of the time thought when they saw this? Totally mind blown

[mothman2]

I'm convinced I saw a single frame around the 25 second mark with 1897 on it

Wonderful how dance can create the lines of contemporary `Art Neauvau´

Love seeing not only the way they were playing with movement and color, but her use of the 'serpentine' (ala Loie Fuller) dance that was so very innovative for its time.

[BrandiBroke2195]

[wolverinebizerko1]
