- The clip is from DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK (1956). The point of the scene is to demonstrate to the now middle-aged jazzers that rock and roll vintage 1956 isn't all that bad.

When you realize your grandparents were cooler than you were
Great grandparents
Now your grandkids cut shapes and are cooler than you.
@Fred Forbes except your generation. You sound like a D
@Fred Forbes yeah millennials didn’t do shit but at least gen z are doing something
@Fred Forbes ikr at least gen z is learning to be a little more productive considering the time the US was at when they were born
Only 20's kids will understand
Annabel M I like the dance and I’m in 5 th grade
Most people from the 20s are dead...
Unfortunately they are......my parents were from the teens!!!
It was a joke....duh lol
a year from now there will be 20's kids again.
That was fantastic! It takes a lot of energy and having good rhythm to do those fast paced steps. They sure look like they are having plenty of fun doing it too.

If I could travel back in time I would go back to the 1920s smooth stylish and fun
Lynchings as far north as Duluth in 1920. White people sending postcards of themselves having a fun time watching lynchings. White Supremacist Woodrow Wilson bringing Southern racism up North. Tulsa Oklahoma Massacre 1921. 30,000 KKK in full robes marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC in 1926 - oh yes - the good ole days!
Living in the 2020s, obsessed with the 1920s
I asked one of my friends if it would be weird if I taught myself this and he said it would be weird if I didn't.
He's very supportive.
wow....even the 1920s made the 1950s looked lame
i was born tooo late
+Emma Moore it's never to late. the 1920's seem to be making a come back. Look at some of the new music by The Speakeasies, Caravan Palace Dramophone, Parov Stelar (Booty Swing). Just to name a few.
matthew turnquest did u know that this was called the jassie age and the roaring 20s it is were they wanted to live life the fullest by dancing and going to base ball games and bying expensive stuff like cars just a fun fact
I agree, the Roaring 20s had Al Capone, gangsters , bathtub gin , flappers, Charleston ... 1950s had...
@Joshua Castro A lot of that was just spin, though - pretty much all the scandalous ideas about sex and conventions from the '20s were accepted by the '50s.
I always dance like this when I'm listening to music in my room.. Until now I didn't know it was called Charleston and an actual thing! Just great!
Yeah this is how I dance at the club except by myself, idk why guys never talk to me
ME TOO!!!!
Do you mean like 1:55
You can't just throw yourself around the room and, hey, I'm doing the Charleston. It's a difficult dance.
I envy you
Think of it: this was the music and dance of 100 years ago.
It's so interesting to see different decades display their idea of what a previous decade looked like.
I'm wondering what the couple in the fur coat are doing...
+Maître Renard I know!! I was like why are they doing that??? LOL
The point is to make you wonder.
Maître Renard

They are having a quickie.. lol! They are dancing in the coat.
NOTHING .... His hands are on the outside touching the sides of her hips !
Awesome live 1920s dance. My great grandparents use to do the Charleston dance in there time. 😊
Hello Michelle
How are you doing today?
0:32 I wonder what music the elderly couple jammed too in their younger day's, should've been around the 1800s if you think about it.
This video is from 1956. The music is from the 1920's. 36 years before 1956 that couple was approximately 30 years old. In other words, that couple is listening and watching the music that they danced to when they were 30 years old. That is why the old man wipes away the sweat of shame.
this is what i did when my taxes came back and i got something
Lmfaooooo
A round of applause for the most iconic age: the 20s
Which 20's?
The 1920s
Sometimes, I'm convinced the 1920's decade was one big party I missed out on. But then again I wasn't born yet.
I’m 15 and this is so cool, I love it
Face it. When 2020 came around, this is what we were hoping for.
Only legends watching in 2021 🥺🥺 miss back time
I would break my ankles if I danced with those heels they got talent!!😅
They look absolutely insane and it's hilarious, but also cool
It's very bouncy, lively and energetic.
We don't give our older generations credit for the style they had back then.
This is so classy and beautiful, those clothes are so beautiful.....
I literally shed tears watching this
Weird and funny old dances hhhh
Its like people having fun in a nursing home!
The choreographer was Earl Barton. Wonderful evocation of the earlier period. I like the way it was filmed, too. Except for all the reaction shot interruptions.
Type >earl barton dancer< in Search box to see a few clips of the man himself. A good singer too.
Очень классно!!! Это реально лучше всего, что танцкют сейчас!
I loveeeeeee the dresses ❤️
Cool ! Thanks for sharing.
That’s actually the year my great grandma‘s born she still alive today
Your great grandmother was born in 1956? Wow, you must be really young. People born in 1956 are in their 60's, which is a little young. There are a few people born in the 1900's that are still alive today.
It make me remind when I was young
People compare this to twerking and say that every generation is shocked by the new stuff that comes up and it's natural but....come on. I'm 17. Twerking is friggin disgusting
this clip cheers me up no end
Потерянные Времена BRAVO
Espectacular! Un episodio del pasado capturado en la magia de la tecnología. Una belleza! Gracias!
I'm interested in the 1920s because women back then they dress so nicely elegant and sexy.
This is before people forget
😂this is such a cheerful bunch of people
This was extremely cool!! Did you see the girls though? They were doing all of this in heels! That's amazing!
Imagine being thrown and had to land on your heels on the intro. Great balance. Got to hurt the feet.
@@christophercasey6775 Their poor feet
And in the 20s they were doing it without air conditioning!
@@Jitterbuggn I know!! And honestly, I think I would die if I didn't have glorious AC 🤣
Me encanta mucho esta canción, la quiero bailar.
This song epitomizes what people today want to think the 1920s was like. The truth is that this song and dance was a minor craze in 1925 and was viewed by the majority of people as an amusing novelty at best and vulgar and low class at worst. Most people preferred waltzes and fox-trots. If you want to hear what normal 1920s music sounded like listen to the Colonial Club Orchestra, Regent Club Orchestra on the Brunswick label or The Troubadours or Nat Shilkret on Victor. The real 1920s sound was romantic, heavy on strings with vocals by tenors but I know that isn't what people today want to hear.... since they are obsessed with hot jazz and race music and then project their preferences on the past.
*I'm confused.*
The title says "1920s dances..." but the description says it's from 1956.
I remember this scene, Patty Duke or Gidget I think. That old guy getting tripped out is the principle and the students discovered he was their age in that era. They wanted to remind him at how this was also criticized and seen controversial the same way by the older folks of his day( with still the Victorian mindset). By the 1950's this was considered cute.
I think this song was composed 29 years before my grandparents were born in 1949 in Pennsylvania
Do you know what this song is?
My back hurts already
Nurses and doctors if Tik Tok existed during the Spanish Flu
The dances that are now considered classics and used as references for "respectable" forms of movement were, in their time, highly controversial and occasionally banned. All of the dances in this video were banned at one point.
The WALTZ was considered a licentious, immoral dance when it was first introduced to London. from Germany. The London Times in 1816 observed its arrival with disapproval: “We remarked with pain that the indecent foreign dance called the Waltz was introduced at the English Court on Friday last.” The newspaper thought that this dance was not worthy of comment, as it was previously “confined to prostitutes and adulteresses”, and with the appropriate degree of Francophobia for the age, they blamed its introduction on “some worthless and ignorant French dancing-master”.
Edit some of the moves they still do today
yep
очень интересные эксклюзивные треки и видео !
Yah my great grand parents awesome
Lol
Oh to be alive then!!!!!!!!!! I'd be crackin ratbody's like No' Do-it!
Thanks to all for reading
Electric swing songs like Posing-Sim Gretina brought me here.
brilliant ....absolutley the bees bollocks
Me doing the dougie when I'm 90:
Que baile curioso.
People ACTUALLY talked with each other, & danced with each other BEFORE going to the Bedroom.
All the moves are in the legs hahahaha
Why am I the greatest?
is that Lauren Bacall at the table with the old man and the Lady?
We don't see many dance features like this any more in today's movies. So what movie is this from?
1900s the best music century (1900-1999)
.....the 20s and 70s
The 20th century.
It makess you think and see the dear old great granpappy in a way. we were all young . at least they were allowed to get out much of the frustrations that being that young can be like. And still be able to keep ones clothes on,at least in public. Sad in a way that we've done away with much oh the places kid could feel save at enjoy themselves and parents parents weren't biting there nails for the kids of today. those folks had skills kinda sad vI got the shake what you got yrs. dancing back then does seam alot more fun and isnt that what we all seek in one form or another.
I expected the 20s to be alot cooler than this....(I mean now)
Thisgood
Every Day I'm Shufflin
Aren't kids doing the same type of dance now with techno/trance ???? Fucking weird exactly 100 years later
May I use this video for a non- profit educational video? Kind Regards, Kawita
Adorei
Very cleansed version. Watch the earlier ethnic versions for more flavor
good day.. permission to use this video as reference in my PEH subject..Thank you..!
❤👏😁
1920 muy gracioso ese baile
Well, the point should be made that this kind of popular culture was followed by the depression era and indeed what happened in the rock era was in turn followed by more serious negative effects on society.
Well I have an apush speakeasy today and I need to dance like this for extra credit....wish me luck
what's the title of the music?
тиктоник 20тых годов! и всё таки это круто неимоверно !
It’s the roarin twentin tidal waven
2:20 Peabody dancers are going against the line of dance
Nice^^^^^welcome to
Damn this requires STRENGTH look at those ladies jumping effortlessly in heels damn
I agree. Power to.the ladies, and balance too, with the high heels.
And also how easily the do quick kicks so fast. Trained af
Not arguing they have a lot of talent, but to be fair to the modern woman the backs of those heels are a lot thicker and most likely easier to keep balance on than the skinny little things we have now. Though I’m sure you could find some that are thick if you look.
@@doglovingdaydreamer8352 It's not about how thick the heels are exactly. It's about how well balanced and how well made the shoe is, and modern shoes are garbage. I've bought really expensive shoes in the US and wobbled like crazy and had aching feet. I've bought cheap leather shoes in Europe and they were comfortable. Especially for heels, the important thing is that the weight comes from the hip straighr down through the shoe heel to the ground. A little too far forward or backwards or off to the side and wobbles happen.
They were made better, had lower heels, and you can afford to click and use your heels in that style of shoe. Modern shoes are very chunky and aren't the same style of heels. It's all mostly high heels, and if it's a low heel, it has a pike on the heel and not a larger smooth rectangular heel. I mean, you can still do it in modern low heels, but if you're not used to it, the smaller heel might make you pause.
I've seen cartoon characters dance like this and always assumed it was a cartoon thing lmao, I love the flailing arms. We need to bring back this style of dancing it looks like fun.
Just dance like that. You don’t need things to be a trend to do it.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor I dance however I want, it's still fun to see other people do the same thing
we do it in the circle pits
@@bruh666 certain people who are into jazz, swing dance, etc. still do it and I bet some learned it solely from their grandparents or at least heard of it.
I remember being 13 years old in my grandmother's kitchen. My younger brother and I were showing off doing the "jerk" and the "pony" out the blue grandma busted out the "Charleston". Most amazing dance I have ever seen and grandma was great!
Thistledove
omg. that must've been so awesome, bless your grandma fr
Thistledove what year was that? when you were 13
Your grandma sounds amazing
Lol
I thought you were gonna go somewhere with a joke about this video... but tha story is actually pretty cool
Can't believe everyone was dancing like this 100 years ago. It looks so fun. Real instruments, friendly people, and just a great time. Sure beats the dance trends and music of today.
Amen to your words so true, 🎉❤😊😊😊😊😊❤❤😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
that’s just how it is today
2:03 Them calves! People kill it at dancing back then!
It’s all that dancing with heels ! I couldn’t imagine the muscles you’d have after all of that lol
I thought I was the only one who noticed
i feel nostalgic even if i didnt live at this time
who else?
Me too. It's better than this.
ruclips.net/video/-I-YY5p0uq8/видео.html
Kind of
Meee
Maybe you did
Same.
might be dumb but I'm practicing this right now in the middle of the night might come in handy one day lol.
Bringing the 20s back for the 20s...👍
Duror Holmes haha yessss 👏🏻😉
Oh dance with meeee
Dumb? Hell no. It might keep you in shape for a while.
Look, when the zombie apocalypse comes, you'll survive cuz you'll Charleston away before the zombies catch you. It's an exhausting dance. No way they'll keep up with you.
If guys danced that way today, the other guys would call him gay...Sucks too because I actually think its pretty classy seeing two people actually dance with each other instead of grinding!
Exactly guys today suck their man pride is such a ridiculous thing back in the day it use to be fun at least I think lol I wasn't born in the 1900's I wish
There's that electro swing (neo swing) you can certainly dance to that anytime.
+Merc420 these days men only follow their dicks while dancing with a girl, they don´t know the real meaning of `fun`
Look at the video by justsomemotion he dances to electro swing.
Yeah, I wish I was a gay man living back then... I wouldn't go to prison or anything...
This is from the era when all musical instruments were acoustic (not electronic). The Trumpet (or Cornet) player really makes this song sizzle. Our grandparents' generation didn't lack for talent or culture.
Зато энергии в избытке!
No they did not
2:54
Great grandparents for people under 60.
This looks like so much fun
pacnite yes... It's better than modern dance... 😢😢😢
I agree. It's better than this.
ruclips.net/video/-I-YY5p0uq8/видео.html
Dances from 20s and 50s-60s are the best, some are shown in Grease and yes they're fun
@@aminadadanovic9844 not really
@@satanswife2546 the 70s/80s/ and 90s too(mostly 70s)
Went to a 20's party the other night and there are still people who can do all these dances and do them well. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, i was in complete awe... from the dancing to the clothes...
My great parents were dancing like this in the 1920’s
I remember seeing the Charleston performed on TV when I was very young. I couldn’t believe how they crossed their legs thru each other with their hands. It really bothered me until my mom showed me how to do it. My grandmother grew up doing these dances. Have a photograph of her in a flapper dress. We baby boomers didn’t start crazy dances, they did!
The crossing the hands over legs is called the ham bone.
2020s has officially begun.
And it sucks
This comment didnt age well
@@claraclown8036 yes it did. They didn't say anything about 2020. Just that it started.
It was sure damn great. 😢
That was the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow! I'll bet their dogs(feet) were barking. I think they were drinking some bootleg hooch in a speakeasy. Every generation has their jargon. The 1920s were one of the most hedonistic eras in American culture. WWI devastated the world and so afterwards it was "eat, drink, and be merry"-to live in the moment. This is my favorite age as far as dancing, decor, and design. Art Deco! This video was peachy keen Thanks for posting.
Tessie Mae god bless you
And the chicken's trousers?
23 skidoo, kid!
Art deco is gorgeous, oh to have a coat like a lady from the 20’s !
I’m writing a 1920s story (with Steven Universe characters) and I love you so much for this. I’ve been learning slang and looking stuff up all the time
Charleston is one million times better than today's "twerking".
There are other dances besides that in the modern era.
Modern dances are garbage, vintage dances are great!
Twerking has been around for generations. Lol
Twerking looks more like someone getting banged in the bum by a ghost rather than a dance. All of the trendy dances on TikTok, Fortnite and all the other garbage that kids nowadays use are just a load of dog poop compared to these dances. The Charleston, the Peabody, Turkey-Trot, Fox-Trot and all the other dances from the 1920's are 100 quadrillion times better than twerking and everything else.
I am watching dead people dancing..
Why cant this be today, why is today hip hop songs about weed and shit... why lord
This what EXACTLY how middle-aged folks saw these dances and music back in the 1920s. They were scandalized by young women moving around like that in such little clothing and called it the "niggerization of America". (So basically how racist people see hip-hop and rap today).
Remember that the 40-year olds in the 1920s were born and raised in the 1800s.
BubblePop Media how old is dis bitch
It's because parents have the money to spoil their kid and the kid grows rapping and smoking don't ask the Lord the reason is already in the world
He gave us a gift for a while. Most of it is all gone, Music, Dancing, Actors. There is a little left..
BubblePop Media what’s so bad about rap?

+Audrey K All of you recommendations are awesome. ....always felt I should have lived in that era. Thanks! ......I'm thinking 1920's, somehow.
I'm not sure what the second and third suggestions are, but the fourth one sounds like a RUclips channel and the first one sounds like a modern song. I'm not into this pseudo-1920's and elctro swing trend, i'm only interested in the real 1920's. Hot Jazz without beats, remixing and rapping. Hot Jazz and Orchestral Jazz are perfect the way they are. I'm more interested in the architecture, music, movies, clothing and technology of the 1920's than the hedonistic parties. I know how the 1920's were really like, because i've watched videos that explain how the 1920's were like. I've also watched some scenes from 1920's and 1930's movies, mainly musical sequences. I don't get my information from Hollywood, unlike all those ignorants. I don't like modern music, and i'm not interested in trends.
I was at a rave back in early 2000 where the visuals in one room (well, tent actually) was a clip of a woman dancing the Charleston and it went surprisingly well with the trance/techno being played.
It was probably Electro swing and not techno
@@haselnusszweig5533In the early 2000s?? I’m sure they meant it when they said it was techno
