Music for Dancers - Charleston Music
The Charleston is a dance named for the city of Charleston, South Carolina, where the basic step takes 8 counts and was danced either alone or with a partner. It is well associated with the flappers and speakeasy from the 1920's. Learn the Charleston in our East Coast Swing/Lindy Hop Group Dance Class.
