Helston, Cornwall England 8th May 1989. <br />
Crowds gather annually to watch the first dance, the Children's Dance. Hundreds of local school children all dressed in white, the girls wear spring flowers in their hair dance through the ancient Cornish city. After the dance three young girls discuss the merits of small heals as against no heals on their shoes.
