Program, "First Annual Concert and Ball," with Music by Henry Ford's Old-Time Dance Orchestra," 1926
Add to SetSummary
Henry Ford's revival of early American dancing encouraged others to join in. In January 1926, members of Detroit's Twentieth Century Club held a ball featuring the old-fashioned dances. Most everyone came in period costume. Henry and Clara Ford looked elegant in their "old fashioned" garb--Henry in a waistcoat and vest, and Clara with a pink silk gown and her hair dressed in side curls.
