Dancing Times Archive Collection
Dancing Times Archive Collection
RAD/2/DT · Collection · 1894 - 2020
Part of Personal Archive Collections

The bulk of the collection comprises the photographic archive of 35,000-40,000 images. The images reflect the growth of dance from relatively sparse coverage in the years before 1914, rising in the 1920s and 1930s, growing exponentially in the 1940s and throughout the years of the “ballet boom” in the late 1940s and 1950s. They trace the expansion of contemporary dance in the US and the UK (especially London Contemporary Dance Theatre) during the 1960s and 1970s and the growing popularity of national dance, especially Spanish and Indian. The diversity is one of the collection’s strengths, charting the rise of first the national dance companies, and the rise of contemporary Black and Asian dance. The Dancing Times magazine was noted for its international coverage and this is reflected in the images of the flourishing dance scene in Europe, the US, the Soviet Union and further afield.
Additional material includes a complete run of the Dancing Times magazine from 1894 - 2020; Ballroom Dancing Times; and Dance Today, along with some framed photographs, historical designs and visitor books.
