EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the jazz age in London during the 1920s, as exhibited by the dynamic duo, Cecil Reuben and Beryl Evetts. The image, taken in 1923, showcases the pair mid-performance at an exhibition, their bodies in fluid motion as they effortlessly glide across the dance floor. Cecil Reuben, a native of Trinidad, was a pioneering figure in the world of jazz dance, bringing the infectious rhythms of the Caribbean to European audiences. His partner, Beryl Evetts, was an English dancer who had honed her skills in ballroom and modern dance styles. Together, they represented the vanguard of the jazz dance movement in London during the 1920s. The photograph is a testament to the age's love affair with dance, as people flocked to exhibitions, balls, and clubs to witness the latest dance crazes. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of cultural and social transformation, marked by new freedoms, experimentation, and a rejection of traditional norms. The photograph, with its rich historical context, is a valuable addition to any collection of images documenting the jazz age and the evolution of dance. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the world was captivated by the infectious rhythms and energy of jazz music and dance.
