When they recorded this - the dancers, the band, the camera man - they had no idea it would be immortalized on something called the Internet and viewed by millions of people in the future.
This would be true for everything made the next 60 years.
They knew the internet was coming, idiot
Every single hip hop dance that has since come out has it's roots to this. I know, bc I grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s with my great grandma and great uncle who showed this to me.
I was able to take dance lessons on three occasions from Frankie Manning who danced with them as part of Whitey's Lindyhoppers in the 30s and 40s. Al Minns' son and Leon James' granddaugther have even posted comments on some of these vids. Pretty amazing to connect with history and pay it forward.
WOW
"Absatively posolutely." -- e.e. cummings
IMO these guys are ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. Beautiful expression.
Yeah, this kind of dancing is timeless. The way new generations shuffle in the clubs or raves, we owe it to these guys.
Awesome and beautiful to watch
So this must be the forefather of jumpstyle, shuffle, and C-walk? O_o
Jumpstyle doesn't derive from this, shuffle and C-walk do
Pretty much. I mean shuffling isreally only a slight variation on the way ravers danced at the beginning of the 90s (only real difference is the music was slower in 90-92 and there were more arm movements) and that of course was hugely inspired by earlier styles.
Sir you are correct.
I think C-walk and also evolution of Hip Hop dancing and Breakdance
All modern forms of dance upshooting from black dances come from this
The music here is great!
Roots of hardstep, shuffle, and some jumpstyle and some drum n bass. THIS IS DANCE WHAT THESE GUYS DID!
There's a popular dance inSouth Africa called Isipantsula, it's been around since the 50's. It's taken from this dance
أصل رقصة شارلستون هو جزائري ، أخذها سياح أمريكيين زارو الجزائر سنة 1910 عندما شاهدو النساء يغسلن الملابس في الأنهار بواسطة أرجلهن بحركات راقصة و هن يستمعن بأعمالهن حيث كانت رقصة شائعة و هناك عدة فيديوهات جزائرية قديمة توضح هذا
I'd love to see a vid of this dance!

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!
Ah the 20's! Those were da good old days
at least in dancing...
Now I know where the original C-walk came from 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love the oldies 💯
This is what both music and dance should be. Brilliant.
This is where Kid n Play got there moves.....WOW
Boah.. Bull for real..👳🏾
YES WE LOVE CHARLESTON
12 years after the release, this is still one of my favorite videos! Just love picturing this while listening to dnb music. If those guys cant dance to it, then i wont like the track.
The Charleston should "come back"! It's so fun!
He makes it look so easy. ❤
I know!! It's super hard and requires a lot of stamina and flexibility.
This video will never get old
It's impossible to be sad while watching this video.
...no its quite easy
anything is possible.
I'm sad seeing all the comments arguing that this dance only belongs to some Americans when the dancers themselves would never have wanted it that way
@@dogperson432what’s sad is the reality they had to live while contributing so much to the world in joy
Daamn, these men are smooth!
Evolution of Hip Hop dance and music!
When my son comes home with good grades
Good old days music
The good old times...
this is ORIGINAL dancing as we know it today. rock n roll was born in the 50's, dancing was born in the 20's.
cela met de bonne humeur, j'adore !
Beautiful music for dancing in this 2023
Yes, it was filmed during the 50s (late 50s or maybe early 60s). This was a history of jazz dance TV special where Al Minns and Leon James showcased American jazz dances from the 20s to the 40s. Notice that it is a __TV__ special -- that was not very common in the 40s =) Besides check out the style of their clothes!
Peace
Way to keep Al & Leon's legacy alive! =)
Wow. These men are GREAT. They make the dancing look fun and effortless!
We kickin' it old school baby!
I absolutely love this video. I must have seen this a 100 times now
Absolutely mesmerizing.
That is awesome and amazing! They had sure talent!
Hi there, How are you doing today?
It's time for this to come back to dancefloors!
That second dance was amazing
FABULOUS!!!!!Always go to the great originals!!!!!
Well we watched this video as apart of our notes and I was just like, "If I do learn this dance and perform it in front of the class can I get extra credit points?!?!" And she was like "Absolutely!"
!!!Hermoso, excelente, Fascinante....
A dance that emblematizes a healthy, fit society free to apotheosize: to create, innovate and express individual emotion, especially joi de vivre whimsy--boldly shaping moves ne'er seen b4.
@Evi1M4chine dude it's so much worse. People do dance it today and they slowed down all the tempos because their fat asses can't keep up
The Godfathers of Hip Hop dance!
Your father has some seriously EPIC dance moves. Good stuff.
I had no idea most of the dances we did in the 80s come from the Charleston! Wow
it has in a lot of songs.. its distant, but you can see the traces.. its a great dance!
This was hip hop back then!!! Omg!
#Bringitback
It's amazing how many genres you can dance this to.
These guys are great. I wish I could drop it like that in the club. I don't think I can kick with so much style.
There you have it, folks, the origins of Hip-Hop. Personally, I wish it had stayed this way, much classier, and SOOO smooth.
shut the fuck up
A. BAYAR ... YOU ARE SUCH AN IMP!
yer now that's skill good share
Beautiful!! I love this.
Hell yeah
the second one is totally amazing xD
Amen to that! Took too long to find it, but finally here we are.
Beautiful.
All killer, no filler. Or finer. A top three clip for sure. Love from the uk.
Made my day
to think this dance is nearly 100years old...
GothixZa And still ever so popular. 😉
@@Sneakyboson definitely! A lot of shuffling to house music and dancing to electro is basically the Charleston.
Many of these steps go back to traditional west African dance Juba and a few others.
Incredibly entertaining; I laugh the whole time🤣🤣🤣I normally see women doing this dance, but this was the first time I saw all men.
Nothing but a classic, wouldn't it be cool if they brought back the dance and it became popular again?
You could argue that jumpstyle is a modern interpretation of the charleston.
or cutting shapes :)
+3eeeDee Thanks for helping me keep up with how it evolves. I had to look this up th-cam.com/video/O1x9F-DKaNM/w-d-xo.html
Search "Lindy hop" on TH-cam 😊
I love moves that make the dancer look like they're just gliding a hair above the floor without friction.
superb to watch !!
I'm sooo learning this
Absolutely brilliant...
they made it look so effortless, yet it must have taken quite a lot of time to master it so well.
Good to see the mix back in those days.
man ii love this why wassn't i born in them dayss...
this is the best thing in the world
love it !! so talented:):)
Those guys are awesome!

this is the origins of locking, the origins of footwork, everything, and this was fun
