The Charleston, the dance that represented the sparkling but brief joy of the world between the two world wars, entered Barcelona via Sant Antoni. That was in 1926. The popularity of Josephine Baker at the Folies Bergère in Paris went beyond bounds, so at the Théâtre Cirque Olympia, a gigantic auditorium on the Ronda Sainte-Pau with a capacity of 6,000 spectators if necessary, it was scheduled to take place in January of 1926. A show of Chocolat Kiddies, “the most unusual, most original and most successful black American show ever presented in Barcelona.”
