Dancing with the Lost Generation: A Visual History of Parisian Dance in the Jazz Age


It is time for a Summer Holiday and if you’re reading this, chances are you would like nothing more than to time travel back to the Jazz Age. For a limited time, we are offering a replay of our popular Parisian program “Dancing with the Lost Generation.

Join us for a virtual journey 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.

Tickets:

$6 for ADSLA members
