Document Summary
Willie and sam are two black men who take a break from their work to clean up the st. georges park. Sam is clearly the expert and gives willie some pointers to improve his moves for a ballroom dancing competition that they plan to enter run 2 weeks. Willie is sad because his partner hilda quit practicing with him, after willie gave her a beating, so sam and willie argue over hilda. Sam does some steps while willie sings a count basie song. Hally (17 year old boy) comes home from school and greets willie and sam, cheers them on their dance moves, hally thinks they are ready for the contest and asks them how they feel about it. Sam tells hally that hally"s mom went to the hospital to see his hally"s dad, so hally wants to know if that means his dad is leaving the hospital.
