EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1923, features Dorothy Raymond and George Saunders, two exhibition dancers gracing the stage at the renowned Waldorf Hotel in London, and Paula Desborough, a dance instructor who once taught for the Army of Occupation on the Rhine but now finds herself at the Princes Restaurant. The trio embodies the vibrant and dynamic jazz scene that was sweeping through the city during the Roaring Twenties. Dorothy Raymond, a young and elegant dancer, captivates the audience with her graceful movements and expressive facial expressions. Her youthful energy and passion for dance are palpable, making her a crowd favorite at the Waldorf Hotel. George Saunders, her dance partner, complements Dorothy's style with his own agility and charisma. Together, they create a captivating duo that leaves the audience breathless. Paula Desborough, a seasoned instructor, adds an air of sophistication and experience to the scene. Having taught dance to the Army of Occupation on the Rhine, she brings a unique perspective and international flair to her classes at the Princes Restaurant. Her dedication to the art of dance and her ability to inspire and teach others makes her an invaluable member of the London dance community. The 1920s were a time of excitement and innovation, and this photograph captures the essence of that era. With its lively jazz music, fashionable attire, and passionate dancers, the scene at the Waldorf Hotel and Princes Restaurant was a reflection of the world around them – a world that was alive with energy, creativity, and the joy of dance.
