EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of 1913 with this delightful cartoon by renowned British humourist, H.M. Bateman. The scene unfolds at Prince's, a popular entertainment venue known for its afternoon Dansants or Tango Teas. The craze for Argentine Tango had reached fever pitch, and these social events were the place to be seen, especially for dancers like Maurice and Florence Walton. Maurice, with his confident strut and Florence, gracefully poised, are showcasing their impressive tango moves. Bateman's wit is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the bystanders, who seem both envious and amused by the couple's skill. The cartoonist masterfully captures the infectious energy and excitement of the tango trend. But the Walton's repertoire didn't stop at the Argentine Tango. They were also adept at the Sympathy Waltz and the Turkey Trot, as evidenced by the various costumes and dance positions depicted in the background. The Sympathy Waltz, a sentimental dance for couples, and the Turkey Trot, a lively and humorous dance, were other popular choices at these events. The Dansants at Prince's served as a social hub for dancers and dance enthusiasts, offering an escape from the mundane routines of everyday life. Bateman's cartoon beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this era, where dance was a trend, an entertainment, and a source of joy and camaraderie. So, let's take a moment to appreciate this charming snapshot of history and the enduring appeal of dance.
