"Chaps and Chapettes" practice the steps to a
dance at the Fifth Grand Anarcho-Dandyist Ball at the Bloomsbury Ballroom on
December 7, 2013 in
London, England. The Ball is a celebration of traditional English attire,
etiquette and eccentricity, featuring acts such as Sir Henry at Rawlinson End,
Vivian Stanshall's rambling, surreal, whimsical musical tribute to the decaying
English aristocracy and learning the Lambeth Walk vintage dance step,
accompanied by vintage cocktails and swing music.
