Bohemian Dancers (1960)

C/U of a young girl and boy chatting; she wears a large straw hat and sips from a bottle of lemonade through a straw; panning left to show a hand-written sign reading ’Bohemian Special, Sat, 7th May’. M/S and C/U of Ray Owen, owner of The Tollington Park Dance Club, putting an LP on a record player; C/U of the record going round on the turntable. M/S of the dance floor where many young couples (aged about 14 to 18) are dancing; one couple, Janet Perry and Patric Burgess, are sitting at a table with bottles of orangeade (?) with straws. Some of the dancers are dressed in bizarre clothes - girls in dark glasses, men’s hats and jackets, or in frilly bloomers worn as trousers; the boys seem to be dressed more conventionally. Commentator says “Bohemian dancing it’s called, and these kids start dressing up where the ’teds’ and ’weirdies’ left off. The craze started here at The Tollington Park Dance Club in North London, but it’s already catching on in other areas“. Low angle M/S showing two girls jivi
