Charleston (dance)

The Charleston was a type of dance popular in more than one nation on Earth during the 1920s. It was at least remembered into the 1970s and 1980s, and gained at least nominal purchase in Australia. Tegan Jovanka, an Australian in her early 20s in 1980, was proficient enough in the dance to perform it at Cranleigh Hall in England in the 1920s. (DW: Black Orchid) In 1929, a party held in Antibes, France was dominated by people dancing the Charleston. Romana I was invited to show her skill with the dance, but she declined.
