A Tough Dance (1902)
This film clocks in at just under a minute and features a man and woman both dressed up in ugly clothing that is too big and quite dirty. The two start dancing but as they continue their dance becomes rougher and uglier until they end up falling down. A TOUGH DANCE is, I'm guessing, supposed to be a comedy but it's certainly not funny by today's standards and I'm honestly doubting that it was funny in 1902. The two basically just dance in a rough fashion and this starts off with the man slapping her. From here things don't really get any better. Out of all the various dances movies I've seen from this era this here is one of the worst.
