Shipyard workers dancing at Bordeaux, France, 1936
Ray Batchelor writes:
“From the website of Marseillestango.fr a page devoted to “Le Tango, à l’origine, se dansait-il entre hommes ?”
Des danseurs de Tango au son d’un Bandonéon, quelque part en Argentine ?
Non : des danseurs probablement de Valse et de Polka, à Bordeaux, au son d’un accordéon, lors d’une grève des ouvriers des chantiers navals !
Which in Google Translate becomes:
Tango dancers to the sound of a bandoneon, somewhere in Argentina?
No: the dancers probably Waltz and Polka, in Bordeaux, the sound of an accordion during a strike of shipyard workers!”
…but we can’t know which dance it was, which is why I am submitting this image. Besides, it is being used on this website to explore the historical concept of same sex tango dancing.”
