Henry Ford with His Old-time Dance Orchestra, 1933
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford created a dance room at Ford Motor Company's Engineering Lab, where his office and the company's engineering activities were located. Here, from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s, Ford held his old-fashioned dancing parties for adults and hosted dance lessons for children. Ford's Old Time Orchestra provided the music, while Benjamin Lovett called the dance steps. 70-year-old Ford listens with pleasure.
