EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Earlyne Wallace and John Sanna gracefully execute an adagio dance number, showcasing their exceptional acrobatic skills and unparalleled synchronicity. The image, captured in 1928, transports us back to the golden age of jazz, the Roaring Twenties, a time of excitement, innovation, and unbridled creativity. Earlyne Wallace, a petite and elegant dancer, and John Sanna, a strong and agile partner, formed a dynamic duo that captivated audiences during the vaudeville and variety show era. Their adagio numbers, characterized by their intricate lifts, balancing acts, and fluid movements, were a testament to their dedication, artistry, and undeniable chemistry. The photograph, taken during one of their performances, reveals the duo's mastery of the adagio technique, where one partner supports the other in a series of lifts and balances. Wallace's graceful expression and Sanna's focused gaze create an intimate connection between them, while their costumes, adorned with sequins and fringe, add a touch of glamour and allure. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era when dance numbers reigned supreme in entertainment, and the art of partnering was a spectacle to behold. The image, preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the world of Earlyne Wallace and John Sanna, two pioneering dancers who left an indelible mark on the history of jazz dance.
