EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Dacia, the premiere danseuse of the iconic London stage show "Chu Chin Chow," in the midst of the jazz age of the 1920s. The photograph, taken in 1921, showcases Dacia's youthful exuberance and grace as she strikes a pose that embodies the energy and spirit of the era. With her expressive eyes and radiant smile, Dacia invites the viewer into her world of dance and performance. "Chu Chin Chow," a popular and extravagant musical comedy, premiered in London's West End in 1916 and ran for over 2,200 performances. The show was known for its elaborate sets, exotic costumes, and lively music, which perfectly captured the zeitgeist of the Roaring Twenties. Dacia, as the lead dancer, was a central figure in bringing the production to life with her mesmerizing performances. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of a dancer who helped define the jazz age in London's theatre scene. Dacia's timeless beauty and infectious energy continue to captivate audiences, making this portrait a cherished piece of history that transports us back to a bygone era.
