EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Roaring Twenties, a new craze was sweeping across London: ice dancing. The latest trend in entertainment saw dancers leaving their traditional dance floors for the icy expanse of the Hammersmith Ice-Drome, which opened its doors on December 30, 1929. The vast ice rink, the largest in the city, replaced the old Palais de Danse and became the epicenter of ice cabaret. Top left in this photograph, Miss Freda Whitaker, a renowned exhibition skater, is seen rehearsing with her partner Alfredo in preparation for their ice dance performance. Freda's grace and elegance on skates were unmatched, making her a crowd favorite. Top right, two beautiful and talented skaters, Miss Muriel Lambton and Miss Elina Munro, practice their moves, their skates gliding effortlessly over the ice. Their synchronized movements and captivating performances left audiences in awe. At the bottom of the image, Freda Whitaker's Skating Girls, a group of young, enthusiastic skaters, practice their steps, emulating their idols and dreaming of their own time in the spotlight. The 1920s were a time of innovation and excitement, and ice dancing at the Hammersmith Ice-Drome was a testament to that spirit. The fusion of ballet and skating created a unique and thrilling experience for audiences, making it a must-see attraction in London during the 1929 winter season.
