Les Feux Follets (Will-o'-the-Wisps) was founded as an amateur dance group in Montréal. It grew into a professional company whose repertoire represents the folklore and ethnic origins of the Canadian people. In this film the group performs two dances that well illustrate a fine virtuosity: the first, a Plains Indian betrothal dance; the second, a more frenetic exhibition of go-go dancing.
