Doing the Charleston

In our 8th grade classes we compared the two songs Charleston Party (which characterized the mood of the 1920's) and Brother Can You Spare a Dime (which characterized the mood of the 1930's).






The instructional videos below explain how to do the Charleston, the most popular dance of the 1920's. You can also search for other videos online that give instruction on how to do this dance. Learn how to do this dance and we will perform it in class later next week. Anyone who participates in the dance (no matter how good you are at it) will earn extra credit.
