A supper dance in progress at Kettners in 1926. The Bystander writes, At this famous restaurant, which has now regained the popularity which made it so established a success in the Edwardian period, no music takes place at lunch or dinner.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Night of Revelry: Supper Dance in Progress at Kettner's, Soho, 1926 2.. Step back in time to the roaring twenties and experience the electrifying atmosphere of a supper dance in progress at Kettner's, an iconic restaurant in London's Soho district. This photograph, taken in 1926, showcases the joy and excitement that filled the venue during those magical nights. Kettner's, a renowned establishment that has once again regained its popularity from the Edwardian era, was a place where the hustle and bustle of the day gave way to the enchanting world of supper dancing and music. Unlike lunch and dinner services, where the focus was solely on fine dining, the true magic unfolded after hours when the music started playing, and the dancefloor came alive under the conductorship of Jack Hylton. Jack Hylton, a celebrated bandleader and entertainer, led the orchestra that filled the room with lively tunes, creating an irresistible rhythm that drew dancers to the floor. The elegantly dressed crowd, including Howard Elcock, who can be seen in the foreground, lost themselves in the moment, their laughter and energy fueling the infectious spirit of the evening. As the twinkling chandeliers cast a warm glow over the dancefloor, couples twirled and swayed, their movements mirroring the music that surrounded them. The air was thick with anticipation and excitement, as each couple vied for the spotlight, their passion for dancing evident in every step. The supper dance at Kettner's was a testament to the vibrant nightlife of London during the 1920s, a time when the city came alive with the sound of jazz, the clink of champagne glasses, and the infectious energy of the crowd. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enchanting world that once existed, a world where the simple pleasure of dancing and music brought people together, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
