Tango dancing at Harewood Place
A newly opened venue for the tango tea craze of 1913, at Harewood Place, Hanover Square in London. Opened by Mr F. H. Payne, the salon was similar in nature to a private ballroom with lessons and demonstration dances given by Senor Marquis and Miss Clayton, the celebrated tango dancers from the Queens Theatre and the Savoy Hotel, pictured here, elegantly dancing across the black and white tiled floor while a waitress serves up teas to patrons nearby. Date: 1913

The elegant duo, dressed in fashionable attire, exude the passion and energy that defined the Latin dance sensation that had taken the city by storm. The Tango Tea Room, opened by the visionary entrepreneur Mr. F.H. Payne, was a novelty venue that offered patrons an authentic tango experience. The establishment, reminiscent of a private ballroom, provided lessons and demonstration dances that showcased the intricacies of the dance, allowing amateurs to learn and perfect their moves. As the dancers perform, a waitress in traditional attire moves through the crowd, serving up steaming cups of tea to the entranced onlookers. The atmosphere is electric, as the aroma of tea mingles with the scent of excitement and anticipation. The Tango Tea Room offered a unique blend of dance, culture, and the quintessential British tradition of afternoon tea, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking to be a part of the tango craze that had taken the city by storm. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the allure of the tango dance and the sophistication of afternoon tea came together to create an unforgettable experience. The Tango Tea Room at Harewood Place stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the tango, a dance that continues to captivate audiences and inspire generations.
