Gerke Twins

Image

Twin sisters Julie & Juliet Gerke, students at the Kehl School of Dance, posed in matching, Kehl-designed clothing--including hats, jackets, short skirts, and oversized gloves. These were costumes for a comedy dance number. These twins were expert pianists as well and on occasion played while the Kehl twins danced.
