I think the dancer is Talley Beatty, the person often uncredited as inspiring the choreography of Jerome Robbins for West Side Story. Thanks.

@filtig I didn't say films couldn't be completeley silent... So how am I 'historically incorrect'?

And perhaps there is a deeper connotation as to why it does indeed say silent yet not be totally. Or maybe someone has added sound later on. An example being Metropolis

Just saying

@JERRYATRIX2 : I am afraid this is not the case, your position is historically incorrect. There are numerous filmmakers who choose not to have any sound on their films, so that you focus on the visual. By the time she made that film, there was technology to have sound with it, but she decided to not use sound. Maya Deren has made various films, none of which had any dialogue, but this is the only one she called "silent" and purposefully left with no sound.

@filtig It's silent as in no dialogue. Most silent films have music of some description
