2 Dance Ballet was considered the appropriate activity for young ladies. The other different types of dance were the Soft shoe, sand shuffle, the buck and wing, the shimmy, Monkey Glide, and the bunny hug. The Most popular were The Charleston and The Lindyhop, similar to Swing.

3 The Liny, “Lindyhop”, “Jitterbug” American jazz couple dance, danced to swing music. Black dancers embellish the choppy steps of the Charleston with increasingly flamboyant improvised moves. Fast spins, cartwheels, throws and jumps This dance became the “jitterbug” after it became popular with the whites. Frank Manning, Norma Miller, Lindy- Hoppers Coined by Harry Alexander White “Father White”

4 The Charleston Fast Paced and strongly syncopated. American social dance that was especially popular in the 1920s Took its name from Charleston, SC Originally a solo dance performed by African Americans Accepted as a ballroom dance in 1926 Josephine Baker- one of the most famous performers of The Charleston.

5 People against Dance Dance was seen as being vulgar and offensive. Mostly religious people opposed to this movement. It was seen as different because it broke the rules, musical and social. “…Sensuous embracing of partners-females only half dressed-absolutely indecent, and the motions may not be described in a family paper.”-The Catholic Telegraph, Cincinnati, OH. “Indecent dance an offense against womanly purity.”-Christian Endeavor Society.
