Help me! I've fallen into the RUclips Charleston rabbit hole and can't get out!!!
Don't worry I'll jump down to help you
I can't help you, I am deep into the same rabbit hole! :)
My grandmother told me in the sixtiesthat we were not the first to dance apart. She listened to my rock n roll, so I listened to her music. She showed me the Charleston, She said, Grand mas only going to go down once, cause I'm not young anymore. I loved it. She was one of the first to vote in 1020 in California. I came here ro recall those days. Thank you!😎😎
I swear, this gotta be the happiest dance in the world. Anyone dancing the Charleston seem to be having the best time of their lives. It couldn't be any other way with fun steps like these!
Couldn't agree more! When the Gatsby Girls join us for the occasional show, it's so joyous and exhilarating.

And bhangra.
The Charleston is named after Charleston, South Carolina! How did that happen? LOL
❤Браво!!! Сколько надо силы (?!)🎉💃🌹Екатеринбург Россия
Nice legs, great movement, stirring music. Who needs more.
Beautiful.Bringing back some great history.Im 88 so love this
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've watched this over and over. The girls' energy and enthusiasm, the live band playing behind them, and the actual lyrics being sung, make this something special.
C'mon, you're seeing the girls and nothing else, just like the rest of us.
Me too, I agree
The last golden breath of Ragtime. I used to pound this out on my granny's grand piano, and she could do a good buck and wing at 80! Then off to noon Mass. Terrific.
Wish this music would come back in fashion, also the 50's 60's and disco
I am a Filipino. I enjoyed watching the classic Charleston dance. Keep this art alive coz it transported me back to your Golden era
I love everything about the Charleston. These flapper girls look amazing. Thanks for posting this clip.
A pleasure!
When you do the Charleston in this way,it never gets old!
Spot on! It's a a dance of youth, vitality and gay abandonment!
Yes, Amazing And I Am Exhausted Just Watching!
They must have had a lot of energy in the mid 20s!
Whew! How could anyone learn all these steps, and they were perfect! Thanks for sharing and the very best to all these talented folks!
Thank you so much!
Pretty much everybody in the twenties could dance like that! We have lost so much!
My favorite dance. Got first place in high school, second place in the military
Picture it. The Carrier Dome. Syracuse University in Syracuse New York 1992. My then girlfriend and now wife had just graduated from college. Graduation dinner and dancing held in the Dome. The Joey Thomas Big Band plays The Charleston and EVERYONE got up to dance. As my girl and I were dancing the couple next to us said to us "Look! It's Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart" (See Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life".)
A wonderful and evocative memory, thank you for sharing!
I do love this show, it brings me back to my childhood:)
Dance moves are perfect synched, and period perfect!
And being able to dance like that in high heels. Incredible!

What’s with this sudden surge in 1920’s music and dance? Pre great depression, is the universe trying to tell us something.
Interesting thought! Actually, we've played this number for 35 years, about 15 years with the Gatsby Girls dancing to it. Once we played it at The Savoy Hotel and a group of 6 Flappers emerged from nowhere (the 1920s perhaps?) and danced the Charleston, then disappeared at the end of the number.
@@PiccDan Certainly there are types and varieties which continue to have their small following. If it were available, so many of my generation would still be attending ball room dances, with waltz, quick step and foxtrot our pastimes. Doing the Charleston was one of my signature pieces when still a teenager - but I am more aware of what seems to be a resurgence. Suddenly on YT I find four or more channels, and it's growing, showing young people dressing and dancing a la pre Great Depression. Someone once remarked that womens hemlines were a good indicator - long, and times were good, as in the Laura Ashley dresses of the seventies. The shorter the worse the economy was heading - and now so meany seem to be little more than bum fringes !!!! :-)
AAHH-SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUITO BOM . BELO RESGATE !
I wanna dance with somebody
Wonderful piece and perfectly performed! Could you please post here the lyrics the Gentelman in white jacket is singing...?
“Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina!
Some dance, some prance
I'll say there's nothing finer than the
Charleston, Charleston, gee how you can shuffle;
Every step you do, leads to something new.
Man I'm telling you, it's a lapazoo!
Buck dance, wing dance will be a back number;
But the Charleston, the new Charleston,
That dance is surely a comer.
Sometime, you'll dance it one time,
That dance called Charleston,
Made in South Caroline!”
Courtesy of the man in the white jacket. 😄
Just sexy and evidently a fun little dance.
.👍💞
How about another show for its 100th anniversary in October??
What a great idea!
If you traveled back in time to the 1920s, would you see a show yourself with the same appearance?
It would depend on so many variables. With regard to musicians, clothes are different, instruments have changed, styles varied from country to country etc. Our aim is to try to evoke the spirit of the music and the era.
I know I was a Flapper in a former life!!!
Weren’t we all?!
Bonjour à tous j ai besoin du titre de la musique pour un concours dvp svp
Shazam ne connaît pas 😅
Merci bises de france
"Charleston" is a jazz composition that was written to accompany the Charleston dance. It was composed in 1923, with lyrics by Cecil Mack and music by James P. Johnson, a composer and early leader of the stride piano school of jazz piano.

It’s the 20s Again Eh?
Quelle est la musique originale. Le titre svp merci
The music is ‘Charleston’, according to the 1925 HMV 78rpm record by the Savoy Orpheans - or ‘(The Original) Charleston’ according to my 1920s copy of the sheet music.

I am addicted to this arrangement/rendition. Is there any studio version or recording of it at this tempo?
Hi - glad you like it! Our studio version is available to download or on CD at michaellawspiccadillydanceorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/are-you-havin-any-fun
The Savoy Orpheans recorded a version thats very similar to this version
@@alco1252 Our version is based on the Savoy Orpheans recording.
@@PiccDan good choice of version. One of the best versions out there!
Josephine Baker
Name of this song ?
The name of the song IS ‘Charleston’. on some sheet music, it’s ‘(The Original) Charleston’.
@@PiccDan thank you 🤝
Yes they have the steps down perfectly but they're not doing the Charleston you had to be born and living in the twenties who do it properly watch the girls in the 20s through the Charleston and you'll see what I mean. It may sound crazy but you can't do the Charleston now because the Charleston was meant to be done in the twenties it just doesn't turn out right now. That's just my opinion my own opinion. I see from the other comments and I am in the minority I'm going to get some bad kickback
There's a lot of truth in what you say. We are always playing, say, 1920s music IN OUR OWN TIME - and it's not possible completely to recreate the dance or music of another time - artistes attempt to evoke it for our own times. That said, I feel that the Gatsby Girls are superb and bring the spirit of the 20s to life for us with their superb routines and skilful dancing.
@@PiccDan I am 83 years old and I've been into this music since I was 16 or 17 so I am a bit skewed about it and that working in the theater on wigs and hair doing a lot of 20 Styles I'm a bit you know. Friend of mine says I can still sit and pick out the arm movements and tell whether it's the twenties or thirties dance number I just the way they move their arms. So I'm nuts but you're right the Gatsby girls were very good for their time and their movements were very Charleston ask
