EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1947, we witness the birth of a new dancing sensation that is set to take London's dance halls by storm. Known as the "Re-bob-bob" this latest craze is expected to join the ranks of popular dances such as the "Lambeth walk" "Boomps-a-daisy" and the "Hokey-kokey". The brainchild of South African duo Carl and Roger Yale, dancers are instructed to bob up and down like monkeys on sticks, clap their hands, twist their bodies, waggle their hands at their ears, and re-bob-bob with infectious enthusiasm. In this snapshot captured during a lively demonstration in London, we see Roger Gale alongside his wife Carol showcasing some of these unique dance steps. With smiles on their faces and an air of excitement surrounding them, they engage in a spot of hand waggling at their ears while embodying the spirit of the Re-bob-bob. This image transports us back to a joyous era filled with music, celebration, and endless fun. It serves as a reminder that even amidst post-war hardships in the 1940s, people found solace in coming together through dance. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph brimming with happiness and energy, it becomes evident why these dances became cherished memories for those who lived through that vibrant period.
