Charleston is a lively, exuberant dance that became wildly popular in the 1920s during the Jazz Age. Named after Charleston, South Carolina, it was characterized by energetic movements, swinging arms, and fast-paced footwork with a distinctive twisting motion of the legs. The dance often reflects the carefree, rebellious spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Charleston can be danced solo, or with a partner. Its simple basic step makes it easy to concentrate on styling, improvisation and musicality.
