Josephine Baker Dances



The dance of the chorus girls is neither elegant nor inspired, and frankly, somewhat clumsy. Josephine Baker, fortified by a few drinks, takes the stage to show how it's done. Her dance is energetic, uninhibited, and joyous. That's how you please a crowd. This clip is from the 1935 French film Princess Tam Tam

Those French men, turning away and hiding their eyes !
Poulet absolue !
No wonder they lost the war a few years later.
