EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1938, we are transported back to the early days of American entertainment. The image captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation as couples perform the ritual at the end of the new dance called "The Dopey". The room is filled with youthful energy, as men in plaid suits and women in flowing skirts come together to showcase their dancing skills. The Great Depression may have cast its shadow over America during this time, but it seems that for a brief moment, these dancers found solace on the dance floor. As they lift each other gracefully into the air, their synchronized movements create an enchanting spectacle. Their socks peek out from beneath their shoes, adding a touch of playfulness to their performance. It's evident that they are having fun - smiles adorn every face. This photograph not only captures a specific era in American history but also serves as a reminder of how art and entertainment can provide an escape from challenging times. The Carousel Collection has preserved this precious snapshot for us to appreciate decades later. Through this print by The Granger Collection, we can almost hear the music playing and feel the excitement in the air as these couples immerse themselves in the magic of dance.
