When you realize your grandparents were cooler than you were
Great grandparents
Now your grandkids cut shapes and are cooler than you.
@Fred Forbes except your generation. You sound like a D
@Fred Forbes yeah millennials didn’t do shit but at least gen z are doing something
@Fred Forbes ikr at least gen z is learning to be a little more productive considering the time the US was at when they were born
Damn this requires STRENGTH look at those ladies jumping effortlessly in heels damn
I agree. Power to.the ladies, and balance too, with the high heels.
And also how easily the do quick kicks so fast. Trained af
Not arguing they have a lot of talent, but to be fair to the modern woman the backs of those heels are a lot thicker and most likely easier to keep balance on than the skinny little things we have now. Though I’m sure you could find some that are thick if you look.
@@doglovingdaydreamer8352 It's not about how thick the heels are exactly. It's about how well balanced and how well made the shoe is, and modern shoes are garbage. I've bought really expensive shoes in the US and wobbled like crazy and had aching feet. I've bought cheap leather shoes in Europe and they were comfortable. Especially for heels, the important thing is that the weight comes from the hip straighr down through the shoe heel to the ground. A little too far forward or backwards or off to the side and wobbles happen.
They were made better, had lower heels, and you can afford to click and use your heels in that style of shoe. Modern shoes are very chunky and aren't the same style of heels. It's all mostly high heels, and if it's a low heel, it has a pike on the heel and not a larger smooth rectangular heel. I mean, you can still do it in modern low heels, but if you're not used to it, the smaller heel might make you pause.
I remember being 13 years old in my grandmother's kitchen. My younger brother and I were showing off doing the "jerk" and the "pony" out the blue grandma busted out the "Charleston". Most amazing dance I have ever seen and grandma was great!
Thistledove
omg. that must've been so awesome, bless your grandma fr
Thistledove what year was that? when you were 13
Your grandma sounds amazing
Lol
I thought you were gonna go somewhere with a joke about this video... but tha story is actually pretty cool
I've seen cartoon characters dance like this and always assumed it was a cartoon thing lmao, I love the flailing arms. We need to bring back this style of dancing it looks like fun.
Just dance like that. You don’t need things to be a trend to do it.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor I dance however I want, it's still fun to see other people do the same thing
we do it in the circle pits
@@bruh666 certain people who are into jazz, swing dance, etc. still do it and I bet some learned it solely from their grandparents or at least heard of it.
Can't believe everyone was dancing like this 100 years ago. It looks so fun. Real instruments, friendly people, and just a great time. Sure beats the dance trends and music of today.
2:03 Them calves! People kill it at dancing back then!
It’s all that dancing with heels ! I couldn’t imagine the muscles you’d have after all of that lol
I thought I was the only one who noticed
Only 20's kids will understand
My great parents were dancing like this in the 1920’s
i feel nostalgic even if i didnt live at this time
who else?
Me too. It's better than this.

Kind of
Meee
Maybe you did
Same.
might be dumb but I'm practicing this right now in the middle of the night might come in handy one day lol.
Bringing the 20s back for the 20s...👍
Duror Holmes haha yessss 👏🏻😉
Oh dance with meeee
Dumb? Hell no. It might keep you in shape for a while.
Look, when the zombie apocalypse comes, you'll survive cuz you'll Charleston away before the zombies catch you. It's an exhausting dance. No way they'll keep up with you.
Went to a 20's party the other night and there are still people who can do all these dances and do them well. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, i was in complete awe... from the dancing to the clothes...
This is from the era when all musical instruments were acoustic (not electronic). The Trumpet (or Cornet) player really makes this song sizzle. Our grandparents' generation didn't lack for talent or culture.
Зато энергии в избытке!
No they did not

Great grandparents for people under 60.
If guys danced that way today, the other guys would call him gay...Sucks too because I actually think its pretty classy seeing two people actually dance with each other instead of grinding!
Exactly guys today suck their man pride is such a ridiculous thing back in the day it use to be fun at least I think lol I wasn't born in the 1900's I wish
There's that electro swing (neo swing) you can certainly dance to that anytime.
+Merc420 these days men only follow their dicks while dancing with a girl, they don´t know the real meaning of `fun`
Look at the video by justsomemotion he dances to electro swing.
Yeah, I wish I was a gay man living back then... I wouldn't go to prison or anything...
This looks like so much fun
pacnite yes... It's better than modern dance... 😢😢😢
I agree. It's better than this.

2020s has officially begun.
And it sucks
This comment didnt age well
@@claraclown8036 yes it did. They didn't say anything about 2020. Just that it started.
It was sure damn great. 😢
The 20s and 60s are my favorite decades of the 20th century
If I could travel back in time I would go back to the 1920s smooth stylish and fun
Lynchings as far north as Duluth in 1920. White people sending postcards of themselves having a fun time watching lynchings. White Supremacist Woodrow Wilson bringing Southern racism up North. Tulsa Oklahoma Massacre 1921. 30,000 KKK in full robes marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC in 1926 - oh yes - the good ole days!
That was fantastic! It takes a lot of energy and having good rhythm to do those fast paced steps. They sure look like they are having plenty of fun doing it too.

wow....even the 1920s made the 1950s looked lame
i was born tooo late
+Emma Moore it's never to late. the 1920's seem to be making a come back. Look at some of the new music by The Speakeasies, Caravan Palace Dramophone, Parov Stelar (Booty Swing). Just to name a few.
+matthew turnquest The 1920s was an explosion of sexuality and defying traditional conventions in popular culture. The 1950s was the complete opposite. It was about sticking to the accepted conventions.
matthew turnquest did u know that this was called the jassie age and the roaring 20s it is were they wanted to live life the fullest by dancing and going to base ball games and bying expensive stuff like cars just a fun fact
I agree, the Roaring 20s had Al Capone, gangsters , bathtub gin , flappers, Charleston ... 1950s had...
I remember seeing the Charleston performed on TV when I was very young. I couldn’t believe how they crossed their legs thru each other with their hands. It really bothered me until my mom showed me how to do it. My grandmother grew up doing these dances. Have a photograph of her in a flapper dress. We baby boomers didn’t start crazy dances, they did!
The crossing the hands over legs is called the ham bone.
That was the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow! I'll bet their dogs(feet) were barking. I think they were drinking some bootleg hooch in a speakeasy. Every generation has their jargon. The 1920s were one of the most hedonistic eras in American culture. WWI devastated the world and so afterwards it was "eat, drink, and be merry"-to live in the moment. This is my favorite age as far as dancing, decor, and design. Art Deco! This video was peachy keen Thanks for posting.
Tessie Mae god bless you

Art deco is gorgeous, oh to have a coat like a lady from the 20’s !

They are having a quickie.. lol! They are dancing in the coat.
A few times each year when I was a kid and my parents had just the right amount of wine in them, and the mood was right,they would crank up the swing or ragtime music and dance just like these beautiful people dance. I was memorized with awe.. as they and I grew older those occasions grew fewer and farther between.. until one year my mom became more frail than the the dance would allow.. my dad still had a few moves up his sleeve I filled in for my mom and danced my heart out with him as she watched with tears in her eyes. Some tears for joy watching as dad and I entertained her, some for sadness that she couldn't be on her feet dancing with the love of her life..
Only 1 year later and they were both gone for good. I watched my 235 lb dad wither away down to 57 lbs. Before he died. The the last memory I have of that great man was him being so skinny as he laid on his back the shape of the bones from his spine were visible through his stomach. Shortly thereafter a few months later my beautiful mother's body was riddled with cancer that in months time spread from what was thought to be a survivable breast cancer to all her organs.. then she slowly died a horribly painful death...
this music is a beautiful heart wrenching reminder as the tears in my eyes, some from joy of the days when they moved so gracefully and perfectly together & how amazingly wonderful life could be some from sadness from witnessing how cruel life can be...
I love you mom and dad.. thanks for the memories of when life made sense to me...
When I'm alone and listen to this music my heart moves through the emotional spectrum from the best times to the worst times and everywhere in between... If I'm out on the town and happen to hear this music I have about 3 minutes to get somewhere that I can hide before the flood gates open and my nose runs uncontrollably...
this is what i did when my taxes came back and i got something
Lmfaooooo
I always dance like this when I'm listening to music in my room.. Until now I didn't know it was called Charleston and an actual thing! Just great!
Yeah this is how I dance at the club except by myself, idk why guys never talk to me
ME TOO!!!!
Do you mean like 1:55
You can't just throw yourself around the room and, hey, I'm doing the Charleston. It's a difficult dance.
I envy you
Think of it: this was the music and dance of 100 years ago.
Scandalous!
My dad Sam used to dance the Charleston around 1927 when he was 21...he won mum over some time later with some of his moves.
It's so interesting to see different decades display their idea of what a previous decade looked like.
I asked one of my friends if it would be weird if I taught myself this and he said it would be weird if I didn't.
He's very supportive.
Gosh what time it was to be young
So very energetic, so many styles. I loved it, I’m sure the senior citizens forgot what it was like to be young. We all get our turn.
Hello Karen
How are you doing today?
I was at a rave back in early 2000 where the visuals in one room (well, tent actually) was a clip of a woman dancing the Charleston and it went surprisingly well with the trance/techno being played.
It was probably Electro swing and not techno
@@haselnusszweig5533In the early 2000s?? I’m sure they meant it when they said it was techno
Too many young people dismiss their parent's lives. History is a gold mine.
I love 20's... Good ol' times.
Awesome live 1920s dance. My great grandparents use to do the Charleston dance in there time. 😊
Hello Michelle
How are you doing today?
Pushed tbe wrong button. This is fabulous!
Nothing but respect! If I tried to do all that in heels, I'd break my either my ankle, hip, neck, or all of the three.

Me too!
I’m loving this actually! Wish the modern days could be like this
Me too
This comment didn't age well XD
Yes
In two months the '20's will be 100 years ago. It was a quick century!
I wish I could chill with my grandparents in their era
100 years ago. It just turned 2020. Happy New Year Everyone!
if only we’d have known
Watched this (muted) while listening to Modern Love by David Bowie. Works perfectly. Amazing.
the 1910s-1920s and 1960s-1970s are my favorite eras because everyone was coked up and having fun
It’s impossible to keep your feet straight hearing this. If so then your mind can’t stay still either. 20’s and 30’s music is the best
this is more entertaining than now and days
THE DANCES WERE SO WHOLESOME
A round of applause for the most iconic age: the 20s
Which 20's?
The 1920s
Sometimes, I'm convinced the 1920's decade was one big party I missed out on. But then again I wasn't born yet.
wow bravo that was great. i love this song and type of dance. i hope it makes a come back. but i doubt it
great clip! Thank you!
I’m 15 and this is so cool, I love it
They must have been incredibly fit! That looks more exhausting than going for a run
This is a clip from a 1950's tv show. Theme of the scene was a review featuring an "oldies" 1920s dance number. However, the '20s truly was a culturally and musically magnificent decade, as was the subsequent 1930s (even more elegant), and every one since then since until the last few.
It's actually from a pro-Rock n Roll movie that the music industry (particularly Alan Freed) made to try and win over the parents to the emerging Rock n Roll youth culture. The film hinges on the parents shouting about how they don't like how their children move or dance, and then towards the end, Alan Freed is like: "You want things the way they were in the old days when things weren't so risque? Well fine, I'm sure you all remember this..."
It's the music industry calling out the parents in the film by saying: hey, you were young once too, let the kids enjoy their youth.
One can see by the quality of this footage that it wasn't filmed in the 1920's but at least the 1950's or later.
The best generation of pure fun and energy ever
My Grandmother used to do the Can Can when we were kids. Very funny!
Genius to place a bored girl doing the waltz.
That old man sweating reminds me of how my grandma felt when she first saw twerking.
The clip is from DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK (1956). The point of the scene is to demonstrate to the now middle-aged jazzers that rock and roll vintage 1956 isn't all that bad.
Yep. This most definitely. It was part of Alan Freed's pitch to make Rock and Roll popular with more than just teenagers (because teenagers were an emerging market who only just recently got allowances or after-school jobs in the post-war period, the real money was in convincing the adults it wasn't so bad and that it was rather like their own youthful wild oat days in its own way). The Payloa scandal (along with the arrest/scandals of several of early Rock and Roll's major stars) killed all chance of the genre catching on outside of the teenage market. Luckily for the record companies, the teenage market was destined to blossom when the Baby Boomers took over the position a few years later.
When doing research for a paper on Rock and Roll of the pre-Beatles period, I found 1920s comparisons all over the place. The comparison of the 1950s to the 1920s was also a popular trend at the time as Eisenhower was thought to be akin to Calvin Coolidge. And 1920s nostalgia began to really peak in that decade (see the musical: The Boyfriend). In fact prior to Rock and Roll emerging into the (white) popular mindset of 1955/1956, in 1951 (read the TIME magazine article: The Silent Generation)--the adults were actually surprised that they had raised a generation of quiet young adults who were (for the large part) conforming to the norms that their parents told them and weren't rebelling (at least compared to how they lived it up in their youths) at all. They were making comparisons to the 1920s all over that article to show how unlike their parents they were.
And then the Silent generation grew up, hit middle age and were the first generation to have a "Mid-Life Crisis" be a life stage issue. Instead of having youthful zeal, as a generation they had a divorce "epidemic", laid the foundations for second-wave feminism (they were the classy ones who insisted on the Ms. label & wore pantsuits--not the Boomer bra burners), and broke away from the norms that their parents in the 1950s had told them to conform to. The very late members of the Silent generation would have enjoyed early Rock and Roll, but for the large part the Silents saved their "rebellious" period for middle age, not their teenage years.
@@Salamon2 I enjoyed reading your comment.
One can tell from the quality of the footage that it was probably filmed in the 1950's and this segment was a tribute to the 1920's.
Jazz was rebellious to the 20s as Rock was in the 50s.
Only legends watching in 2021 🥺🥺 miss back time
Love this catchy tune !!!!
Honestly wish we'd dance this in our physical education class instead of trending Tiktok dances, i mean its good but I want the jive and jumpiness of these dances
Now this is being redone with "Electro-swing" and I love it! We need to go back to this and groups around the US are with ratrods, pinups etc.. What an awesome time to live to do what you like to do and mix it up! ;)
When you watch Gatsby a couple of times and fall in love with the swing dancing😂 it looks like so much fun! I desperately need this style of dance to come back. It is truly amazing!❤(not to mention the fashion😩)
I love this era😍😍😍✨
Face it. When 2020 came around, this is what we were hoping for.
I miss the 1920s so much! All the kids in school listen to Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd and Metallica but this is real music!

no u dont

If I did, I'd buy every car I could get my hands on.
It wasnt as fun as it seemed. Vaccines weren't big yet, uncontrolled pollution, spanish flu, great depression
Me encanta esta música tan característica de una época. Casi la 'vivo' en su época real. Me recuerda mucho a la música antigua de Halloween. ¡Excelente!
Cool ! Thanks for sharing.
I love it!
This film looks more mid 50s than 20s but the dance is definitely 1920s.
Yes it's a scene from a 50s movie.
0:32 I wonder what music the elderly couple jammed too in their younger day's, should've been around the 1800s if you think about it.
This video is from 1956. The music is from the 1920's. 36 years before 1956 that couple was approximately 30 years old. In other words, that couple is listening and watching the music that they danced to when they were 30 years old. That is why the old man wipes away the sweat of shame.
Thank you for sharing...love it!
Hello Kimberly
How are you doing today?
Love this video so much! It's like a scene from my new novel, though I wrote the scene before I ever saw it!

+Audrey K All of you recommendations are awesome. ....always felt I should have lived in that era. Thanks! ......I'm thinking 1920's, somehow.
I'm not sure what the second and third suggestions are, but the fourth one sounds like a TH-cam channel and the first one sounds like a modern song. I'm not into this pseudo-1920's and elctro swing trend, i'm only interested in the real 1920's. Hot Jazz without beats, remixing and rapping. Hot Jazz and Orchestral Jazz are perfect the way they are. I'm more interested in the architecture, music, movies, clothing and technology of the 1920's than the hedonistic parties. I know how the 1920's were really like, because i've watched videos that explain how the 1920's were like. I've also watched some scenes from 1920's and 1930's movies, mainly musical sequences. I don't get my information from Hollywood, unlike all those ignorants. I don't like modern music, and i'm not interested in trends.
This clip is from "Don't Knock the Rock" (1956)
This warms my heart so much :-(
I literally shed tears watching this
This looks like a 40s movie doing a dance number from the 20s.
1956.
Weird and funny old dances hhhh
Its like people having fun in a nursing home!
Super danke war noch was los. Einfach nur klasse.
I have watched and re watched this a dozen times and I am still amazed at these dancers...all are great but the girl second from the right is the best...wish i knew her name and what she is doing now...talented and very beautiful..always in perfect step...the arm movements so expressive and cute...and all the girls look like they are having a blast...guys are great too!!!
I am watching dead people dancing..
Why cant this be today, why is today hip hop songs about weed and shit... why lord
This what EXACTLY how middle-aged folks saw these dances and music back in the 1920s. They were scandalized by young women moving around like that in such little clothing and called it the "niggerization of America". (So basically how racist people see hip-hop and rap today).
Remember that the 40-year olds in the 1920s were born and raised in the 1800s.

It's because parents have the money to spoil their kid and the kid grows rapping and smoking don't ask the Lord the reason is already in the world

awesome love it
Очень классно!!! Это реально лучше всего, что танцкют сейчас!
A good primer for those that want to dance 1920's style, unlike the crowd that does the recent "Charleston championships" shows. Do the Charleston if it's a Charleston competition, not the shimmy, remnants of the fox trot, Lindy hop, jitter bug, or an artsy mess of 60's thru the disco craze and beyond dances. Dance the Charleston if that's what's expected in competition. Dance The Shuffle, The Black Bottom Stomp, Turkey Trot, Peabody, 20's or earlier or later dance style called for in a specific competition. If you call it "The Charleston", then dance "The Charleston".
amazing performance
I have an old picture of my grandma wearing a flapper dress.
That's a great aerobic workout! Can you imagine todays' kids trying that?
Ever heard of musical theatre? We DO do that!!
that's awesome ^^

Oh brother I am hateing it to
InnannasRainbow modern EDM shuffling is just like this
I’m trying it rn and I think I pulled like 15 muscles ITS IMPOSSIBLE. I’ll stick to flossing, thanks
Charleston is one million times better than today's "twerking".
There are other dances besides that in the modern era.
Modern dances are garbage, vintage dances are great!
Twerking has been around for generations. Lol
Twerking looks more like someone getting banged in the bum by a ghost rather than a dance. All of the trendy dances on TikTok, Fortnite and all the other garbage that kids nowadays use are just a load of dog poop compared to these dances. The Charleston, the Peabody, Turkey-Trot, Fox-Trot and all the other dances from the 1920's are 100 quadrillion times better than twerking and everything else.
crazy , marvelous
