☞ REMEMBER: Harlem Dance circa 1950

There is not much 1950s images of Harlem to be found but we discovered a collection by the photographer Jay Maisel at one particular gallery site.   Harlem dance, couple dancing, man with toothpick mid 1950s shows a dressed up duo at a local dance within a grand hall uptown.  We imagine that this might be at the former Renaissance Ballroom on upper 7th Avenue but additional information on the location could not be found.   More photos of Harlem and New York in the 1950s can be found at the aforementioned site: LINK
