This is the second of four New Year's parties where I filmed dancers dancing to this waltz. The circumstances of each were different. Here the personalities and movement made this one-shot piece fit together on screen as well as the music and dance did at the party. In truth I caught it because I had not yet turned my camera off after the previous, different, New Year's waltz. I was just hoping my battery would last till the end.
