The clip shows him in a social setting, surrounded by young dancers from around the world who treated him as a living link to the Savoy era. His movement is compact and musical, with plenty of humour in the details. Watch how he lets the music lead and how effortlessly he keeps time. A joyful piece of living history that works as both tribute and lesson.
