The peak year for the Charleston as a dance by the public was mid-1926 to 1927. Origins While the dance probably came from the "star" or challenge dances that were all part of the African-American dance called Juba, the particular sequence of steps which appeared in ''Runnin' Wild'' were probably newly devised for popular appeal.

It became a fast kicking step, kicking the feet, both forwar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
