Videos of the dances from the 1920s

How To Charleston
A How To Charleston video. It's kind of silly, but it's good.

Charleston
Some more elaborate male dancing for the Charleston. It's hard to distinguish a lot of the 1920s stuff from the 1930s stuff-- I mean, it's hard to distinguish a lot 1990s stuff from 2000s stuff, you kind of forget that something is 10 years old or something.

Nevertheless.

Fox Trot

How To Foxtrot

Here's a How To for the Foxtrot.

Black Bottom

This is how to Blackbottom AND IT MAKES ME LOL. It is FAR BEYOND being PC at all.

The Lindy Hop Showdown

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I also want to know the song so bad =/

Jive

A Jive competition piece. The song is from 1946, but I may use it anyway. =/ I'm getting way off historically as far as music goes, but I guess I don't care. If it's fun to dance to, then I'm going to use it.

How To Jive

They use a song from the 1950s. WTF. But at least you can see how you Jive.
