About This Item
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1934. Vintage composite photograph of self-taught husband-and-wife ballroom dance team Frank Veloz and Yolanda Casazza dancing the "Viola Waltz," a dance created for the 1934 film. Mimeo snipe on the verso.
From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
Veloz and Yolanda (as the couple were commonly known) were stars of ballroom dancing in the 1930s and 1940s, specializing in Latin ballroom styles. They opened a chain of studios in the 1940s, introducing many middle-class Americans to the dance form. "Many Happy Returns" was the first of several films for which the couple designed specialty choreography, followed by the Paramount film "Rumba" the following year.
10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
