EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grace and elegance of Harriet Hoctor, an American classical dancer at the height of her career in the 1930s. Dressed in a flowing white tutu and ballet slippers, Hoctor exudes a sense of poise and confidence as she strikes a pose on the theatre stage. The image, taken in 1934, captures the essence of the jazz age and the excitement and glamour of the 30s theatre scene. Born in 1907, Harriet Hoctor began her dance training at a young age and went on to study at the Denishawn School of Dance and Related Arts in Los Angeles. She quickly rose through the ranks of the dance world, performing with various companies and touring extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Despite her success in the world of classical ballet, Hoctor was also known for her innovative work in the realm of modern dance. She collaborated with pioneers of the modern dance movement, including Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, and was a founding member of the Hanya Holm Dance Company. This photograph captures Harriet Hoctor at a pivotal moment in her career, embodying the beauty and artistry of classical dance while also pushing the boundaries of what was possible on the stage. The image is a testament to Hoctor's talent and dedication to her craft, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of American dance in the 1930s.
