The Charleston was one of the biggest dance
crazes of all time It was popularized in a song of the same name in
the 1923 Broadway show Runnin’ Wild.
The choreography for the show was most likely original, but the
style came from the Juba dance moves that originated among slaves on
plantations and in southern cities like Charleston, South Carolina,
where the name comes from. Here are a few super examples Charleston
moves set to dubstep. LINK

Charleston Dance
This short minute and a half video is pure fun. LINK It shows many of the steps and some variations from the the old time dance craze, the Charleston. It is an old dance set to new music. Who said the new dances are better than the old ones.
