Flappers from the 1920s would be proud of these three!
In the 1920s the Charleston dance was invented and swept across the country, almost 100 years later, these three woman show as that it’s still alive and thriving
The Charleston is a famous dance from the 1920s that involves swinging your legs and flamboyant arm movements all while keeping a fast pace. It was invented in Charleston, South Carolina, and was extremely popular among women who were called ‘Flappers.’ They wore awesome outfits, that you’ve almost surely seen on Halloween still to this day.
In this video, Amy Young choreographed an incredible routine for the Wedding World Exhibition in her home town of Bath, England. This ancient city is the largest city in the county of Somerset and was built by the Romans who named it Bath for the massive baths that are constructed around the city.
Right from the get-go, Amy and her dancers’ begin doing the Charleston, swinging their arms and crossing their feet
With marvelous flapper outfits on, the 3 dancers flawlessly do the energetic dance right on cue with each other. Their timing is impeccable, every step and movement is in unison and they manage to keep huge smiles on their faces the whole time.
As they go through the routine, the dancers cheerfully glide across the stage into different formations. At one point, they form a line and use their arms to make somewhat of an optical illusion before breaking into a triangle and continuing to do the Charleston.
These dancers are brilliant, never skipping a beat the entire routine and keeping the energy high
Toward the end of the routine, Amy and the dancers throw one hand in the air while simultaneously spinning in a circle and kicking their other hand with one foot. The fact that they’re doing all this in high heels is just unbelievable!
They pick it up a notch for the end of the routine, going even faster than they were before. With their backs to the audience, the dancers rapidly shuffle their feet and swing their arms while still managing to stay perfectly in sync with one another.
For the grand finale, the dancers add a spin before striking a pose and quickly shaking their hands together
There’s a certain nostalgia to dance routines like this, it’s like a window back into the 1920s when this dance was created.
