Artifact Overview
Beginning in the mid-1920s, Henry Ford was on a crusade to revive the old-fashioned dances of his youth. Ford's dancing master, Benjamin Lovett, helped teach these traditional American dances to adults and children alike. Beginning with Dearborn schoolchildren, this dance instruction spread throughout the United States. Lovett often traveled to community centers and educational institutions to teach.
