In 1930, cabaret dancers Josephine Head and Albert Zapp performed a dramatic tango at London’s Piccadilly Hotel, their intense pose embodying the raw passion and theatrical flair of interwar dance culture.
The tango, born in Buenos Aires, swept across Europe in the 1910s and 1920s, shocking traditionalists with its intimacy while becoming a favorite in cabaret halls, luxury hotels, and high-society gatherings.
Did you know? During the 1920s and 1930s, tango was often censored in certain venues for being too provocative, yet it persisted as a symbol of rebellion, sensuality, and cosmopolitan sophistication.
