A Dangerous Dance (Colour Litho)

A dangerous dance. Leaving the cinema in which an American film focused on the last dance, Rock and Roll, had screened, hundreds of young people and girls invaded the main streets of Oslo, abandoning themselves to incredible scenes of madness. They broke shop windows, damaged trams and buses, tried to overturn cars. A bystander was injured. The excesses, carried out under the excitement of the indisputable dance that recently landed in Europe, ceased a few hours later only for the intervention of police departments. More than thirty young people (and girls) were stopped. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 7 October 1956.
