Charleston is an oooold dance that has experienced a lot of musical change and developed some distinctive styles. In this video, we'll be covering 1920s or flapper charlestion, 1930s - 40s or collegiate charleston, and some of the musical changes that precipitated the stylistic shift in the dance.

The first time I posted this video pictured Milt Hinton instead of Walter Page. Oops! Thanks to my friend and bassist Ryan Gould for the correction!
