Jul 7, 2008 - If I drank bathtub gin, I could dance like that too! My uncle would tell me stories of taking his old girlfriend to the local speakeasy. It was a risky endeavor, but lots of fun. It's funny to imagine our grandparents as wild party animals. History always repeats itself.

Jul 7, 2008 - I would like to know how this song is called, because the title is the name of another song (swing), or so called. Thank you

Jul 7, 2008 - This was actually a dance that occured before swing came out but you are correct they are very similar. "The Charleston" was one of the dances you saw there.

Jul 7, 2008 - como se llama esa cancion? urgente
SofiaRemus Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - This is really slow for the charleston and almost boring to watch. A lot of the dance moves being used arn't part of the dance.I think the director could have done better.
twobarbreak Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - What makes you think Charleston should be done at any specific tempo? And what moves are not part of what dance?This was a 1920's era of dancing performance, The dances they do include Black Bottom,the Racoon,and Charleston (i don't recall Varsity Drag).
bloodysword4 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Actually the charslton does have an exact tempo and it is the tempo that the original song called the "Charleston" that the dance was based off of. They are dancing too slow.I was refering to when they were doing the charlston for the moves. Some do not belong.
twobarbreak Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - well, first , Charleston doesn't have a specific tempo, it doe's have a specific rhythm.however, no where does it say this a "Charleston" performance. It's a 20's performance as stated above, with many steps from dances such as the Black Bottom.

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes, you should be working on your spelling instead.
