The best generation of pure fun and energy ever

reggaeton of the 20's

Who un the 2024

Oh dear (smh) ... Maybe Hollywood should be apologising to Black People ...

20 century was the best

YEAH!!!!!!!

DisgUsting musical director it’s so loud you can’t hear 80% of the dance. Obviously a jerk

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.

Awesome!

Imagine just 35 years later these people's children will be complaining about dancing to Rock'n Roll.

No i brawo dla..... 1920 Charleston ❤❤❤😊

i know a

Now that's dancin!

This is a super athlete, by any definition in sports, dance, or art. Famous for her gravity defying speed, physical strength and power, she layed down some of the most intricate rhythms in tap and dance history. Considered by many of the greatest dancers, to be the greatest of them all. Taught by one of the greatest tap dancers of all time, gifted with supernatural energy, natural beauty and charisma, is the all time great, who made it look easy, sexy, and happy. Eleanor Powell.

The fact that Mr. Robinson who was at the time the best tap dancer on the planet but didn't get to perform his own signature number on film speaks volumes on how racist the U.S. was and still is. If Mrs Powell had done the tribute without the black face then maybe I could have enjoyed her performance. Saying that she respected him and then making fun of him with blackface just dosen't sit right with me. Change comes when you do what is right even if it is uncomfortable, especially if it's someone you love and respect. Saying" That's just the way it was" is just a cop out! Eleanor Powell was just as bad as everyone else that condoned this total disrespect. The only difference between her and her friends is that she had a black friend.

Talent like this never went out of style; it just became a lost art.

WHO DID THIS WONDERFUL CHOREOGRAPHY, PLEASE?

Outstanding! New subie.

Too many young people dismiss their parent's lives. History is a gold mine.

I remember this scene, Patty Duke or Gidget I think. That old guy getting tripped out is the principle and the students discovered he was their age in that era. They wanted to remind him at how this was also criticized and seen controversial the same way by the older folks of his day( with still the Victorian mindset). By the 1950's this was considered cute.

Can we all go back in time😂

I have an old picture of my grandma wearing a flapper dress.

The roaring 20s having fun. Thev30s and 40s...not so much.

Its 1950s dance😂😂😂😂 i remember that that day

Most likely genuine clothing and learned the dances from teachers of that generation.

I need the beat

The supreme culture: The black race ❤❤❤❤

What movie is this clip from?

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...

The women had so much swag when they came in at 0:49.

Ааааааааааа!!!!!!!!)))

I understand the sweats. Every sort of both gams on display. *"Bathtub gin and rot-gut whiskey for my friends!"* "Couple good cigars?*

Edit some of the moves they still do today

Some of the news they still do today

NUMBER AFTER NUMBER AFTER CRY AFTER CRY

Stunning 🎉!

Early (CHARLESTON DANCE) History: The Juba, It’s believed that the Charleston actually originated from a dance called the Juba. Juba’s origins began in Africa, and enslaved Africans brought it to South Carolina. The Juba involves one hand that’s constantly slapping and one foot that’s always stomping. It was popularized in the mid-1800s.

😂this is such a cheerful bunch of people

I would have call it, the horsey dance. They can kick hard. But I love it.

Living in the 2020s, obsessed with the 1920s

They didn't dance nasty like now. Everything was good clean fun

This is dancing! Not the oversexualized garbage from these days!!

Imagine how bored these people must have been in the 40s/50s/60s doing slow dances and gawdy shows

Please show this GenZ 🙂

This song epitomizes what people today want to think the 1920s was like. The truth is that this song and dance was a minor craze in 1925 and was viewed by the majority of people as an amusing novelty at best and vulgar and low class at worst. Most people preferred waltzes and fox-trots. If you want to hear what normal 1920s music sounded like listen to the Colonial Club Orchestra, Regent Club Orchestra on the Brunswick label or The Troubadours or Nat Shilkret on Victor. The real 1920s sound was romantic, heavy on strings with vocals by tenors but I know that isn't what people today want to hear.... since they are obsessed with hot jazz and race music and then project their preferences on the past.

I think I have been so caught up in my gen Z dances that I didn't even realize this Charleston dance was amazing.

this is great grand parent generation, during the prohibition

THEY WERE MARVELOUS!

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...
