Charity Ball (1897) James T. Kelley and Dorothy Kent are the ones billed on IMDb as being the dancers. This film clocks in at just around half a minute so obviously people shouldn't be watching a film from this era expecting any sort of plot. It's amazing to see how many dance pictures were made back in the day but we must remember that this was a major form of entertainment at the turn of the century so putting it on film was just a natural and obvious thing to do in order to make money. This dance here certainly isn't anything special but it's an important part of history and I'm sure both dancers would be amazed that people would actually be watching this over a hundred years later.
