The Charleston Dance

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 6 years 7 months 1 week ago

The Charleston is a dance named for the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in mainstream dance music in the United States of America by a 1923 tune called The Charleston by composer/pianist James P. Johnson which originated in the Broadway show Runnin' Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade.

Moving this video to Farhad2000's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

Hey Farhad, this song is somewhat similar to a song I've been searching for for probably 6/7 years - it's a little slower, trancier, but the clarinet hook is almost the same. Ring a bell? Any help would be appreciated...

I LOVE the Charleston. We did a unit on it back in high school. The most fun I've ever had in History class.
