Thank you very much for posting this historical footage!

wow.. awesomeness! I love finding stuff like this laying around on the internet... who would have thought that a century after that girl was filmed, there's people who can still see her dancing?... Amazing how things change in the course of a century and a bit more... Wherever you might be I hope you're still dancing your way around :)
