@samuelpepys I think this one is closer perhaps to what Pepys was learning in his "country dance" lessons. Always interesting to learn a little bit of history!

An older friend would sometimes go there about 1960 - he liked the old style New Orleans jazz, but in his early 20s was about 40 years younger than most of the patrons.
He recalled after he'd been there several times, he and his galfriend decided to test if the "NO JITTERBUGING" sign was serious, and started jitterbugging to a tune. They were promptly thrown out.2/2

I happen to know the history of that sign - previously at old dance hall across the street, 2nd Luthjen's. (Current sign may be a replica of the original.) One of the 1940s-1960s era halls with dancing to live bands by older local jazz musicians like Billie & DeDe Pierce etc, mostly older clientele doing toddling & close dances. They didn't care for the vigorous "jitterbuging" that required more space on the dance floor per couple.

I love the weirdness of history: Tango began as a dance between two men, in slums and barrios, and (I'm told) in mining camps. It only became a sensual dance between two genders later. https://theculturetrip.com/south-america/argentina/articles/untold-story-argentinian-tango-evolved/ #dancehistory #notwhatyouthink

Hi all! I'm doing a second #introduction because I changed instances. I'm an #earlymodernist #DH #memorystudies #dancehistory scholar. I work on dance and the history of imagination, imaginary dances, and I critique historical settler colonial ideas about Indigenous dance. I also work on the history of the body and how dance cultures are historically entangled with theories of embodiment. Recently, I've been producing work on the history of somatics. #academictwitter #litodons #histodons
