The speed is unknown. It has been offered that this might have been created on a hand cranked movie camera.

Thanks, Mitch, I hadn't seen this! When I went to the UK with the Bouwerie Boys in the early '80's, we had the great pleasure of visiting Douglas Kennedy at his cottage.

If some of you graceless clowns cannot appreciate the man's dancing talent, or the gift of having this bit of history and tradition on film, then just focus on the lovely antique cars randomly passing behind the dancer.
