EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the 1920s, featuring the renowned dancer Ruth Page and her dance partner Jorg Fasting in a series of poses from their groundbreaking jazz dance routine, "The Flapper and the Quarterback." Performed during the 1928 recital season, this dance was a sensation, blending the rebellious spirit of the flapper era with the athleticism of American football. Ruth Page, a pioneering figure in modern dance, was known for her innovative choreography and daring performances. In "The Flapper and the Quarterback," she donned a short bobbed wig and a flapper dress, embodying the youthful, carefree spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Her partner, Jorg Fasting, dressed as a quarterback, added an unexpected twist to the performance, representing the traditional masculine role in a new and playful way. The duo's energetic routine was a hit with audiences, showcasing the excitement and vitality of the Jazz Age. The photograph captures them mid-performance, with Ruth gracefully leaping into Jorg's arms, her expression filled with joy and exuberance. The image is a testament to the creativity and spirit of the 1920s, a time when dance was a major form of entertainment and self-expression. This photograph, taken during the 1928 recital season, is a rare and valuable document of this iconic dance duo and their innovative performance. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when the world was captivated by the energy and excitement of the Jazz Age.
