A Tribute To Irene & Vernon Castle

Vernon and Irene Castle were a husband-and-wife team of ballroom dancers in the early 20th century. They are credited with invigorating the popularity of modern dancing. They were inventors of a number of dances, including the Castle Walk that bears their name, and they also helped to popularize dances such as the Foxtrot, the Hesitation Waltz, the Maxixe and the early ballroom form of the Tango.
