EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Lena King, a rising star in the world of jazz dance during the Roaring Twenties in London. Taken in 1922, the image finds Lena in deep concentration as she prepares for her debut performance at the prestigious Empire Theatre, following in the footsteps of the legendary Phyllis Bedells. The Empire Theatre was the place to be for dance enthusiasts in London, and Lena's arrival on the stage marked a new era of jazz dance in the city. Lena's youthful energy and vibrant spirit are palpable in this study, as she dons an elegant yet revealing costume that was popular among jazz dancers of the time. Her expressive face and intense gaze convey a sense of determination and focus, as if she is about to take the audience on a magical journey through the rhythmic world of jazz. The photograph, with its rich tonality and sharp detail, transports us back to the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of the 1920s London stage. The image was published in a leading dance magazine of the time, showcasing Lena's growing popularity and recognition within the dance community. Her arrival at the Empire Theatre signaled the passing of the torch from Phyllis Bedells to a new generation of dancers, and Lena's electrifying performances left audiences spellbound, cementing her place in the annals of jazz dance history.
