I remember being 13 years old in my grandmother's kitchen. My younger brother and I were showing off doing the "jerk" and the "pony" out the blue grandma busted out the "Charleston". Most amazing dance I have ever seen and grandma was great!

Not arguing they have a lot of talent, but to be fair to the modern woman the backs of those heels are a lot thicker and most likely easier to keep balance on than the skinny little things we have now. Though I’m sure you could find some that are thick if you look.

@@doglovingdaydreamer8352 It's not about how thick the heels are exactly. It's about how well balanced and how well made the shoe is, and modern shoes are garbage. I've bought really expensive shoes in the US and wobbled like crazy and had aching feet. I've bought cheap leather shoes in Europe and they were comfortable. Especially for heels, the important thing is that the weight comes from the hip straighr down through the shoe heel to the ground. A little too far forward or backwards or off to the side and wobbles happen.

They were made better, had lower heels, and you can afford to click and use your heels in that style of shoe. Modern shoes are very chunky and aren't the same style of heels. It's all mostly high heels, and if it's a low heel, it has a pike on the heel and not a larger smooth rectangular heel. I mean, you can still do it in modern low heels, but if you're not used to it, the smaller heel might make you pause.

That was the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow! I'll bet their dogs(feet) were barking. I think they were drinking some bootleg hooch in a speakeasy. Every generation has their jargon. The 1920s were one of the most hedonistic eras in American culture. WWI devastated the world and so afterwards it was "eat, drink, and be merry"-to live in the moment. This is my favorite age as far as dancing, decor, and design. Art Deco! This video was peachy keen Thanks for posting.

A few times each year when I was a kid and my parents had just the right amount of wine in them, and the mood was right,they would crank up the swing or ragtime music and dance just like these beautiful people dance. I was memorized with awe.. as they and I grew older those occasions grew fewer and farther between.. until one year my mom became more frail than the the dance would allow.. my dad still had a few moves up his sleeve I filled in for my mom and danced my heart out with him as she watched with tears in her eyes. Some tears for joy watching as dad and I entertained her, some for sadness that she couldn't be on her feet dancing with the love of her life.. Only 1 year later and they were both gone for good. I watched my 235 lb dad wither away down to 57 lbs. Before he died. The the last memory I have of that great man was him being so skinny as he laid on his back the shape of the bones from his spine were visible through his stomach. Shortly thereafter a few months later my beautiful mother's body was riddled with cancer that in months time spread from what was thought to be a survivable breast cancer to all her organs.. then she slowly died a horribly painful death... this music is a beautiful heart wrenching reminder as the tears in my eyes, some from joy of the days when they moved so gracefully and perfectly together & how amazingly wonderful life could be some from sadness from witnessing how cruel life can be... I love you mom and dad.. thanks for the memories of when life made sense to me... When I'm alone and listen to this music my heart moves through the emotional spectrum from the best times to the worst times and everywhere in between... If I'm out on the town and happen to hear this music I have about 3 minutes to get somewhere that I can hide before the flood gates open and my nose runs uncontrollably...

This is a clip from a 1950's tv show. Theme of the scene was a review featuring an "oldies" 1920s dance number. However, the '20s truly was a culturally and musically magnificent decade, as was the subsequent 1930s (even more elegant), and every one since then since until the last few.

It's actually from a pro-Rock n Roll movie that the music industry (particularly Alan Freed) made to try and win over the parents to the emerging Rock n Roll youth culture. The film hinges on the parents shouting about how they don't like how their children move or dance, and then towards the end, Alan Freed is like: "You want things the way they were in the old days when things weren't so risque? Well fine, I'm sure you all remember this..." It's the music industry calling out the parents in the film by saying: hey, you were young once too, let the kids enjoy their youth.

The clip is from DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK (1956). The point of the scene is to demonstrate to the now middle-aged jazzers that rock and roll vintage 1956 isn't all that bad.

Yep. This most definitely. It was part of Alan Freed's pitch to make Rock and Roll popular with more than just teenagers (because teenagers were an emerging market who only just recently got allowances or after-school jobs in the post-war period, the real money was in convincing the adults it wasn't so bad and that it was rather like their own youthful wild oat days in its own way). The Payloa scandal (along with the arrest/scandals of several of early Rock and Roll's major stars) killed all chance of the genre catching on outside of the teenage market. Luckily for the record companies, the teenage market was destined to blossom when the Baby Boomers took over the position a few years later. When doing research for a paper on Rock and Roll of the pre-Beatles period, I found 1920s comparisons all over the place. The comparison of the 1950s to the 1920s was also a popular trend at the time as Eisenhower was thought to be akin to Calvin Coolidge. And 1920s nostalgia began to really peak in that decade (see the musical: The Boyfriend). In fact prior to Rock and Roll emerging into the (white) popular mindset of 1955/1956, in 1951 (read the TIME magazine article: The Silent Generation)--the adults were actually surprised that they had raised a generation of quiet young adults who were (for the large part) conforming to the norms that their parents told them and weren't rebelling (at least compared to how they lived it up in their youths) at all. They were making comparisons to the 1920s all over that article to show how unlike their parents they were. And then the Silent generation grew up, hit middle age and were the first generation to have a "Mid-Life Crisis" be a life stage issue. Instead of having youthful zeal, as a generation they had a divorce "epidemic", laid the foundations for second-wave feminism (they were the classy ones who insisted on the Ms. label & wore pantsuits--not the Boomer bra burners), and broke away from the norms that their parents in the 1950s had told them to conform to. The very late members of the Silent generation would have enjoyed early Rock and Roll, but for the large part the Silents saved their "rebellious" period for middle age, not their teenage years.

I'm not sure what the second and third suggestions are, but the fourth one sounds like a KZbin channel and the first one sounds like a modern song. I'm not into this pseudo-1920's and elctro swing trend, i'm only interested in the real 1920's. Hot Jazz without beats, remixing and rapping. Hot Jazz and Orchestral Jazz are perfect the way they are. I'm more interested in the architecture, music, movies, clothing and technology of the 1920's than the hedonistic parties. I know how the 1920's were really like, because i've watched videos that explain how the 1920's were like. I've also watched some scenes from 1920's and 1930's movies, mainly musical sequences. I don't get my information from Hollywood, unlike all those ignorants. I don't like modern music, and i'm not interested in trends.

A good primer for those that want to dance 1920's style, unlike the crowd that does the recent "Charleston championships" shows. Do the Charleston if it's a Charleston competition, not the shimmy, remnants of the fox trot, Lindy hop, jitter bug, or an artsy mess of 60's thru the disco craze and beyond dances. Dance the Charleston if that's what's expected in competition. Dance The Shuffle, The Black Bottom Stomp, Turkey Trot, Peabody, 20's or earlier or later dance style called for in a specific competition. If you call it "The Charleston", then dance "The Charleston".
