It was danced by everybody back in the 1920s and is one of the pre-cursors to Lindy Hop, characterized by fancy footwork, closed connection, and upright posture. You'll learn the Charleston basic, twists, foot flairs, cowtail, different turns, kicks, Jig Walks and shuffles, Breakaway, and also different kinds of connection styles like the ones seen in this clip from After Seben! https://youtu.be/MtuZeI3n6gM https://youtu.be/gXK3ZrQTLr0 (Inspired by After Seben) https://youtu.be/eehc3kmHzQs (The Canarsie Wobblers!) Please bring a notebook and or camera to capture your own dancing and help remember the material. We will let you know about special practice sessions and similar workshops in the future.
