Teffi - "Marquita" - данцингы

[Francoise Rosset]

Un "dancing" in french is an old-fashioned term for a place to go ... 
dancing, or a nightclub:

from French wikipedia:
En français, le mot dancing est un faux anglicisme synonyme de boîte 
de nuit (en anglais nightclub ou simplement club).

In French, the word dancing is a false anglicism, and a synonym for 
nightclub.

My suggestion for the yellow English woman is that she has a sallow, 
unhealthy complexion.
