20s Charleston

1920s Charleston is the dance that we associate with the flamboyant
flapper of that era, however, Charleston had been around long before.
There are accounts of people dancing the Charleston in the south as
early as 1900. The Charleston became a national dance craze when it was
danced on Broadway in 1922. It remained popular until the
Blackbottom, a new dance to the same music, hit the scene in 1926.
Charleston can be done solo or with a partner. Paul and Sharon’s 20s
Charleston video teaches solo Charleston and some Blackbottom steps
which are arranged into a fun and simple routine.
