Study Notes
Solo 20s Charleston
- Typically danced to music with high tempos (above 200 or 350 beats per minute) and characterized by high-energy dancing
- Combines steps from 1920s dances (Black Bottom, Cakewalk) with jazz dance
- Valued form combines choreography with improvisation and creative variations on familiar dance steps
- Successful dancers respond to the music in creative ways to express themselves
- Often danced in groups on the social dance floor or in formal choreography
Solo 20s Charleston Competitions
- Often utilize elements of the jam circle format, where individual competitors take turns dancing alone for the audience
- Competitors move forward to the audience, taking advantage of this movement to perform "strolls" or other "travelling" steps
- Basic step involves bringing both feet back to the standing position, with weight shift occurring on counts 7 and 8
30s and 40s Partner Charleston
- Involves various positions, including "jockey position" and "side-by-side" Charleston
- In "jockey position", partners face forward, with connection points at their hips and arms
- In "side-by-side" Charleston, partners open out the closed position, with connection points at their hips and arms
- Both partners swing their free arms as they would in solo Charleston
- Other variations include "tandem Charleston" and "hand-to-hand" Charleston
Group Charleston
- Often danced in groups arranged in a loose circle on the social dance floor, in two long lines, or in other formations
- May follow steps "called" by a designated Caller or by each dancer in turn
- Individuals improvise within the structure of the called step, bringing their own personal "flavor"
- Local variations include "switching sides" and "turning 360 degrees in place"
