The Charleston


Bessie Smith

The 1920's need an event or something to bring up their excitement. The charleston was a new way of dancing that every one was able to do. It was a different method of expressing your mood and feeling at the clubs. Both, men and women, would loosen up into the racy and energetic movement of this new dace. The band, the dancers, the floor, the musicians, and the expression on every person's face would live up the beats of the instruments. Every dancer would says that "jazz was a feeling". It is a fun way to dance and I believe that everyone should be encouraged to give it a try!!!
