Could someone say what the difference is between Charleston Squat, Sailor Kicks and Scissor kicks? I'm curious as to what minor detail in their execution deferenciates them from each other.

THANK YOU!!! I use this info in my classes. I am an ABT certified ballet teacher but this is all new to me when teaching a class called "dancing through the decades." NEVER STOP MOVING!

I think I figured out why do not feel the same energy watching people recreate vintage club and street dances. They are stiff. Look how stiff this guy is compared to Chester when doing these moves. He just doesn't look like he is having any fun. You can see it in the side by side. He stands almost straight while Chester is leaning into the dances. Just stop trying to get the steps perfect and have some fun. This isn't ballet or the Waltz. Almost every dancer I see recreating these dances is stiff as a board.

Hi Chestnuts! Your long lost friend Cassandra Baker here. Love seeing you do this and reminds me of our National Tap Ensemble days. Love ya man.

Love it, great to see a dictionary done with so much heart and skill both, dynamic and energetic, and from someone who was "in the culture" of it all, who can teach the "vibe", culture and rhythm of the dance, not just the motions. These are important things that can become lost to time if the originators don't pass it down or record it, and we end up with a shell left over with the original heart removed from it. This video is an underated treasure and must see for anyone wanting to learn old school Jazz dance.

May we please use this video and translate some of the moves and what Chester says into Korean? Often Korean teachers use the wrong names for steps so we would like people to be more aware of the original names and some of the historical background behind them!
