EDITORS COMMENTS
Tea Tango Craze: A Turn-of-the-Century Dance Lesson, 1913 In this photograph, a group of ladies eagerly learn the art of Tango from their instructor, Mme Vicarni, in a bustling dance class. The year is 1913, and the Tango craze has reached its peak in Europe and North America, captivating the masses with its seductive and passionate steps. The women, dressed in fashionable turn-of-the-century attire, stand in a circle, their eyes fixed on Mme Vicarni as she demonstrates the correct position of the arm for the Tango. The teacher's expert hand gestures guide the students through the intricate movements, while her watchful gaze ensures that each lady master the essential elements of this sensuous dance. The Tango, originally from Argentina, had made its way to Europe and North America, and the dance floor became a place for self-expression and social interaction. The dance required a close connection between partners, and the Tango's allure extended beyond the ballroom, influencing literature, art, and popular culture. As the ladies in this photograph learn the Tango, they not only acquire a new skill but also become part of a larger cultural phenomenon. The dance class serves as a microcosm of the broader social context, where people came together to learn, connect, and be a part of the Tea Tango Craze. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of early 20th-century dance and the enduring allure of the Tango.
