The dancers of the Fandango Ballroom perform a sultry routine for their new customers.
What is Sweet Charity (1969) about?
Shirley MacLaine gives one of her greatest performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon’s smash Broadway hit. Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.

I don't see desperation. I see them as turning up for a job they hate and getting it over with in a mechanical and businesslike manner. But (to me, anyway) they seem in charge, somehow. But I agree the choreography is amazing! I'm pretty sure the choreographer is Bob Fosse. I love the details with the hands!
