EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the vivacious energy and playful spirit of Robert Seille and Annette Mills, two pioneering exhibition dancers of the Roaring Twenties. The photograph, taken in London in 1921, showcases the pair in the height of their fame as they graced the stages of the Palais de Danse in Hammersmith and the Centraal Theatre Amsterdam. Seille and Mills were known for their innovative approach to jazz and ballroom dancing, infusing their performances with a delightful element of comedy that left audiences in stitches. Their novelty dances were a refreshing departure from the traditional, rigid ballroom styles of the time, and their infectious enthusiasm for dance helped to popularize jazz dancing in Europe. The 1920s were a golden age for dance, with the jazz age in full swing and new dance crazes sweeping across the world. Seille and Mills were at the forefront of this cultural revolution, bringing joy and excitement to audiences with their electrifying performances. This photograph is a testament to their enduring legacy and the impact they had on the dance world during this transformative decade. With their youthful energy, boundless creativity, and infectious sense of fun, Seille and Mills embodied the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and left an indelible mark on the history of dance.
