The Charleston was a Vernacular Jazz dance that was wildly popular in
the early 1900s, and evolved into Lindy Hop's swingout. The
Charleston is characterized by outward heel kicks combined with an
up-and-down movement achieved by bending and straightening the knees
of ragtime jazz. As early as 1903, the dance made its way into stage
shows by 1913. The dance expresses the reckless daring, abandon, and
restlessness of the jazz-age of flappers and the original pin-striped
gangsters, soon became the rage throughout the United States.

See you on the dance floor!
