Join us for a trip to Jazz Age Paris! Historian Walter Nelson will present a review of social dancing in Paris during the era between the wars when it was a mecca and refuge for artists, unconventional thinkers, and dreamers from all over the world – the era when Paris brought Art Deco to the world in a city where everyone danced. The program will focus on visual sources: photographs and most particularly, film from the period showing how people of all sorts danced in the ballrooms, cafes, streets and dance halls of Paris in that brilliant era. The program will include dances like the Foxtrot, Tango, Charleston, Valse Musette and Java.
