That dance number.... Halfway thorough it, it cuts to this giant big hall. It can't be part of the seedy night club! It's surreal!
What is that? Willie's imagination or dream? But why would they show us that?</b>
It's clearly happening in her mind. That's why the film is rewinding when the dancing girls do the splits.
Willie is a self-important dreamer, and she has an ego, to go with it. She wants more out of life, than to be the moll of a Chinese mafia boss. She wants to hit the big time, but she knows she'll never make it. That's why she overcompensates, with fantasies.

it's Willie's imagination, like her dreams/desires/aspirations of what she really wants to be doing. The script / novelization makes it clear.

One of my favorite details is how Wille actually stands in front of the movie title

<i>The final scene in The French Connection was shot in the remains of the Randall’s Island Bakery. I haven’t been able to find anything more on the bakery itself or what company operated it.

<i> but just having a film showing a limited number of people trapped in a similar scenario with oxygen running out could be quite moving.
I think the closest I've seen to this was an Episode of Enterprise with Trip and Malcolm trapped drifting in a powerless shuttle.</i>
there is one I watched a few months ago on tv in the uk: Kursk: The Last Mission, aka The Command, about the Kursk submarine disaster back in 2000
weirdly enough, it was aired again on the saturday before this event
