LIFE, Let's Dance - Lyndsey Winship - diskuze

We take the floor with Life magazine to showcase the very best in vintage dance photography from around the world. From the rumba to the twist; the jitterbug to the waltz; the Lindy Hop to flamenco; from belly dancing to ballet, from disco to tap, and featuring dance legends such as Martha Graham, the Rockettes, Fred Astaire, and Rudolf Nureyev.I wanna dance with somebodyDecades of dance curated from the Life archiveWhen publisher Henry R. Luce founded Life magazine in 1936, its aim was: “To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events.” Life dedicated its sixth issue to the world of dance, recognizing its importance, not just as a source of joy, but as an expression of community and culture. From Vegas to Hollywood sound stages, from Paris nightclubs to Woodstock, from the Western Provinces of China to Harlem ballrooms, Let’s Dance showcases the evolution and impact of dance, as captured by Life photographers, from the late 1930s to the early 1970s.Featuring over 200 mainly unseen images, scanned from original negatives and pulled from Life’s vast archive, each page of Let’s Dance reflects an influential era, important dance style, premiere dancer, legendary choreographer, or glamorous star—sometimes all in a single frame. Subjects jumping off the page include modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr, Elvis Presley swiveling his hips on stage, and Brigitte Bardot dancing barefoot
