EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of photographs transport us back in time to a Subscription Dance held at The Peoples Palace in Mile End Road, London, during the late 1800s. The first image showcases the anticipation and excitement as dancers prepare for the evening's festivities. Ladies in elegant gowns and gentlemen in sharp suits adjust their attire, while others engage in animated conversations, eagerly awaiting the start of the dance. The second scene unfolds on the dance floor, where couples twirl and sway in time with the lively music. The joy and energy are palpable as they immerse themselves in the social experience, their laughter and conversation filling the room. Lastly, the series concludes with an image of dancers taking a break to enjoy a Refreshment Buffet. They gather around the table, indulging in sweet treats and savory delicacies, their smiles reflecting the delight of a night well spent. The Peoples Palace, a popular social hub in London during the 1890s, provided an essential platform for people to connect, dance, and create cherished memories. These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of series dancing, a beloved pastime of the 19th century.
