The Charleston is a fun social dance from the 1920’s. It’s easy, carefree and joyful and it provides a wonderful basis for embellishing or improvising on the steps – make the kicks high or low, move those knees and arms as freely or constrained as you like and fill your heart with joy as you straighten up and turn for the last eight counts. Try dancing it out to Bang Bang by Will.I.Am and imagine you’re a glittering character in The Great Gatsby.
