The most popular dance of the 20's was the Charleston. Every time you see a movie set in that era it is the Charleston that you see. Other very popular dances of the time were the Lindy Hop which was named in honour of Charles Lindbergh who was the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic. His 'hop' across the ocean garnered much publicity and the Lindy was part of it. The Black bottom and the Foxtrot were also very popular. The Foxtrot is still being danced today. The 20s were the "Jazz Age" and

most music and dances were based on African beats and rhythms. The rhythm was

'syncopated that is very fast so these dances were usually only danced by young people though older people did try them out much like today. The fast beats of the 20s

led to the 1930s and 40s when the big band and 'swing' music was very popular.
