EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the magical moment when beloved British stage and film actress and singer Anna Neagle, dressed in a stunning sequined gown, gracefully twists with a young and eager Grenville Collins during the opening celebration of the new Anna Neagle and Fred Astaire Dancing Studios in the fashionable district of Mayfair, London, in 1962. Anna Neagle, born in 1904, was a renowned entertainer whose career spanned several decades and included numerous stage productions and films. Her charm and talent earned her a devoted fan base, making her the perfect guest of honor for this special occasion. Grenville Collins, a 19-year-old guest at the event, is seen here with a beaming smile as he dances the twist with the elegant actress. The twist was a popular dance craze during the Swinging Sixties, and this social scene exudes the excitement and energy of the era. The mirror-lined walls of the studio reflect the joyous atmosphere, with guests clapping and cheering in the background. The Anna Neagle and Fred Astaire Dancing Studios, named after the iconic dance partners, offered Londoners the opportunity to learn various dance styles and follow in the footsteps of their idols. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Swinging Sixties but also highlights the enduring appeal of dance as a form of entertainment and social connection. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by the presence of Anna Neagle, a beloved figure in British entertainment history.
