LOL so cute, she's just being herself and rocking! Btw that dance holds up so well now because it seems so authentic when she does it! Just amazing!

omg, i saw this footage on a TCM thing that was a collection of saved and restored random footage. It was magical to see the little Dutch children enchanted with her in their traditional clothing.

She was traveling around Europe drawing crowds and being filmed like this one filmed in the Netherlands before the drama started

Yes! Now I finally know what that thing looks like. And seeing it for the 1st time by one of the best dancers in the world.

That woman on the right seemed to find Josephine's dancing entertaining. Lol she was clapping, snapping fingers, stomping her foot, encouraging her to get up and proceed.

It's obvious that Josephine is saying she can't dance in those shoes. But whoever is on the opposite side of the camera wants her to keep going. This film is distressing to me as we all know that Josephine Baker was an object of curiosity to the white Europeans, and the woman on the right doesn't seem to care that she keeps tripping. Also, that looks like cobblestone and she tried to keep dancing without the shoes but the ground is too harsh. Those dance movements are difficult to perform with the grace of Baker but would be nearly impossible and quite painful in wooden clogs. She then tries to appease the videographer and the gawking public by performing movements that are less dynamic and don't require her to lift her feet off the ground. I'm amazed by Baker's resiliency.

I thought losing her clogs was endearing. She should've just went on barefoot.
