I agree - when I first saw it I thought they were dancing, but the text
below says:-
"Among the group was Louis Le Prince, who had with him a curious
mahogany box. He asked the others in attendance - his son,
parents-in-law and a friend - to stand in front of the box and walk in a
circle."
If this was the first ever movie, I suppose walking would be as much as
you would expect to cope with; dancing might come later. Such a pity
about his early death.

out at last, but it's a cool evening. However, I can see the vacation
ahead, lots of time - at last - to make some lace . . . if only I can
remember how!)

Dear Linda,
Thank you. That was fun to watch. Does anyone think they might have been
dancing? If so, what a nice tribute to dance.
