Tango Craze - The Real Tea Tango, 1913
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures an intriguing moment in the history of the popular Argentine dance that took the world by storm. This photograph, taken at the Olympia Salle de Danse in Paris, showcases an authentic Tea Tango scene, a far cry from the British version of the dance where spectators merely watched professionals perform. The image is a testament to the infectious energy and passion that defined the Tango craze during this era. The man and woman in the photograph, dressed in fashionable costumes of the time, are deeply engrossed in their dance, their bodies moving in perfect harmony. The woman's flowing skirt and the man's sharp, tailored suit add to the allure of the moment. Tea, traditionally a beverage taken for relaxation, takes on a new role in this context. Instead of being a spectator sport, as it was in Britain, here it functions as a reviver for the dancers, providing them with the energy they need to continue their passionate performance in the intervals between dances. The Olympia Salle de Danse in Paris was a hotspot for the Tango craze, attracting dancers and spectators alike from all corners of the world. The photograph provides a glimpse into the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the time, with its focus on the authentic Tea Tango experience. This image is an invaluable historical document, offering insights into the evolution of the Tango and its impact on popular culture. It is a reminder of a time when the dance floor was the place to be, where people came together to express their emotions and connect with one another through the universal language of dance.
