20s Charleston Dance - "Charleston" by Enoch Light 

That was one of the most authentic roaring 20's versions I've ever seen. She was perfect. Did you notice how well she did the limber arm movements? That is the sign of a professional master. She didn't just dance superbly, she took us back in time.

100 years and this dance is still hip!!!

What an era!! I love vintage anything. She did that perfectly!!

This young lady wasn't just hitting every technical step, she was clearly enjoying herself too which made the whole performance shine. Thanks for the dance !

When I was a little girl, my Grandma took out some photos of her brother and her. She had been a flapper. Right there in the kitchen she busted out the Charleston for me-being very young I giggled the whole time but damn, she could really move, arthritis and all. Thanks for bringing back a very happy memory of my Grandma dancing the Charleston in her kitchen !!

Honestly, I don’t think this dance has aged a bit. It still feels modern and so joyful

I can't even imagine the hard work that she put into making this look so effortless. "Spectacular" and "gorgeous" are two words that come to my mind . . .

You're dancing of the Charleston is one of the best interpretation I've ever seen

Wow, just amazing! Her movements are so fluid, natural, and carefree, like she is weightless. A true master of dance.

Being able to execute those dance moves so fluently is incredible in itself but the fact that it was all done in heels is even more astounding.

This may have been the best thing I’ve ever seen. Ever.

Her soul is dancing. Beautiful!

It's the 20s again - let's bring this dance back into common use! 🤩

That was truly cool! Can't believe they did that while plastered with moonshine! But yes, my mom's mom was a "flapper" when she was young in the 20s. In fact she was an "It Girl." She and my grandfather held popular parties at their house in Omaha (Mom remembered the sound of laughter in the living while she was in bed, the phonograph playing loud jazz). When the Depression hit, my grandfather lost his lucrative living and drank himself to death. Grandma had to go to work, so she and Mom moved back to Cedar Rapids to be with relatives and live a very frugal life.

The happiest two minutes on RU-vid I've witnessed.

She makes it look so easy. Y'all have no idea how hard this dance is to perform, especially the one foot in front of the other part. It requires so much cognitive awareness of how each body part is placed. I would constantly stumble on my feet trying to learn this dance. Bravo!

This woman is honestly as good as anyone I’ve ever seen do the Charleston. Her body language really represents the time period so well. Just subtle things I don’t see on other dancers like that twisting hip kick at 0:16 or slapping her heels at 0:23 are just marvelous.

You can really feel the sense that you're in the 1920s watching this. ❤

So beautifully captures the youth, confidence and CHEEKINESS of America in those days!

It's so much fun to watch you dance! A real treat, thank you 😁🌸

Yes, yes the Queen of JazzyFeet is back! Adorable, awesome!

THE CHARLESTON WAS ONE OF THE CUTEST DANCES OF ITS TIME. EVEN THE CLOTHING FROM THAT ERA WAS GREAT. THE ROARING TWENTIES WAS AN AMAZING TIME AND APPROPRIATELY NAMED.

This makes me so grateful that there are people out there like this....

Absolutely mesmerising. Incredible talent. She dances like she's being doing it all her life it's all she ever wanted to do. I couldn't take my eyes from her hand movements.

My uncle was playing a Charleston record for my father and me, when my mother came into the room and began to dance to this. I was about 9, she was about 50. This was in the early 1950's. I remember it to this day. Hey Maria thanks for bringing this back for me, Incidentally, you did a much better job!

That's so refreshing in a world gone mad!😍❤

Spectacular! I grew up in the 60's, and my grandmother used to dance this for us kids and we just loved it. You more than do the dance justice. Thank you!

She’s fantastic, great to see the young generation take an interest in older dance genres.

A smile to melt even the coldest heart!

Please!!! Don’t wait 6-8 months to offer us another wonderful choreography. ❤️

The best Charleston EVER!

Let's just sit quietly and appreciate the beauty of this dance and the woman who put so much effort to share it with us mortals.

Wonderful choreography, the joy you exude while dancing is contagious and always lightens my mood. You possess a special talent, thank you for sharing.

her facial expressions when she dances.. a delight and a joy to see

My grandma may she rest in peace used to play Charleston records on her ancient gramophone and dance like this just way slow...😊 This lady danced amazingly, making me think about my grandma perhaps moving like that in her twenties ❤❤

I don’t know anything about these kinds of dances but it’s easy to tell she excels at it simply because she makes it look easy and she puts a smile on my face watching her dance.

This is a master piece. Her look, hair and especially the dress. PERFECTO!

The 20s is surprisingly so modern even for today standard the dance, the fashion, and the arts. Definitely a fun and exciting time!!!

This is one of those dances that you have to be an extremely talented dancer to execute without looking totally goofy. Kudos to her.

Could watch her dancing for hours!!. Moves as if she is about to fly!!! Such grace and beauty!!!

A standing ovation from me in my living room ! Fantastic dancing Maria. Paul.

This beautiful zazzy performance was awaited since long... God Bless the beautiful lady and her team... 🙏

100 year old dancing that still looks amazing.... especially when done by an absolute doll like this!

Beautiful! I feel lucky to have lived through the 90's. I feel like the 20's 60's and 90's were similar and crazy in many respects.

how can she possibly remember all those moves? this really puts a smile on your face, so fun to watch 👏👏👏

She makes it look so easy. That is one talented dancer !

I just keep coming back to this. It's so joyous! ❤

My grandmother surprised me when I was little by perfectly executing the Charleston for me. That is not an easy dance. I later saw photos of her as a teen in the twenties and she made a beautiful flapper.

She makes it look like a walk in the park, it's incredible!

I was born, raised and lived my whole life in the US. But until now I had never seen the Charleston performed entirely. Thank you for posting this. Like others wrote, you are a joy to watch.

The best demonstration of this style of dancing I've ever seen. She is fantastic.

We have had some great music and dances over the centuries, it's good to see that some people can appreciate this.

This girl is made of liquid! What a fantastic performance...completely mesmerising!!!! What genius choreography! Thanks so much for this JazzyFeet.

OMG! You are back Jazzygirl. I am so happy and you are dancing as joyous and full of energy as ever.

Столько женственности, грации и озорства! Чудо, как хороша))

I only wish joy, peace, love and hope to everyone reading this... I wish many blessings to one and all for the rest of eternity

Какая милая стройноногая девушка! Посмотришь на ее танец и хорошее настроение на целый день!

Not only does this young lady know the dance steps, but she's very comfortable doing them, and that adds to the appeal of her routine. Great work.

So feminine, so elegant. Lovely!

I COULD LOOK AT THAT ALL DAY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE SHE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO HER DANCE SKILLS ARE SO ACCOMPLISHED. THERE ARE MANY DANCE SEQUENCES ON RU-vid, BUT NOTHING BEATS SEEING A DANCE FROM BEGINNING TO END.

So much fun, so much grace, your dancing always makes me happy. Cheers~

This is Art. Her timing is amazing.

Wow! What a great dancer. She lived the music as she danced it. thank you

Невероятная пластика,профессионализм вместе с утонченной женственностью Одно из самых элегантных времен "20-е годы" ❤

Best version of this dance that I’ve ever seen. She’s a joy to watch!

That was amazing. I never realized that the Charleston was such a sexy dance. Of course Ms. JazzyFeet really captures the spirit of the times and communicates the joy and irreverence of Enoch Light's timeless classic. I knew the roaring 20's were wild but somehow the old grainy photos of my flapper grandmother didn't transmit the euphoria of this performance. Bravo Maria.

Had Maria been around back then, she would've no doubt become a famous dancer. Good we have her today to watch her do her thing. She can truly "cut a rug." Too bad the people of that time (1920s) are not around anymore to see her for themselves. A very physical dance.

Joyful music. Joyful dance. What is there not to like? My granny used to dance to Charleston music. Fun memories 😄

Awesome! I swear, this is the happiest dance style in the world. Dancers always seem to be having the best time of their lives. It's impossible to watch this without smiling.

I could just see Ginger Rogers do this dance. Wonderful!👍👍

She's light as air and was having so much fun! Not bad for being 101. 😁. I love watching a master at their craft. The craft doesn't matter. That was lovely!

I didn't realize there were so many different steps in this dance. It really is a workout and one of the most fun dances and music! Bravo, she did a wonderful interpretation.

Feel like I'm traveling in a time machine to the past

What an extraordinary rendition of this 100 year old dance. You are an artist!

This is shuffle dancing 100 years before it became popular today!!!!! Great!!!!!!!

I'm lost for words on how good this lady Is, that was awe-inspiring. So technically perfect. She Is a true professional dancer to pull this off so well. .... It's a yes from me

My mom won an award for dancing to this song in the 1950s. Thank you.

I'm thrilled by this enchantingly pretty, energetic and extremely lovable young dancer in her original Charlston dress!

Some people make you feel good just watching them - she is pure delight.

Very cute. I saw freedom for countless prior generations of women in that one dance! Well done.❤

Thanks for the new post! It’s so fun to watch you dance! You’re the best!!

I love watching you dance. You always make it look like the music was made just for you! Love your videos. Please keep them coming! I'm learning how to tap dance, and you inspire me.

One of best dance routines I have ever seen. Fluidity of movement and the illusion of abandonment in the dance are sublime!

I love 20's music and now this. They were definitely onto something.

Watching this woman dance makes me smile!

A Brilliant version of this insane dance. This lady can move

What an amazing performance! And what a beautiful woman.

Wow. She just seems like perfection.

She is a Time machine

Can't believe how effortlessly she does some of these really difficult steps! Great dance and dancer!

I really can imagine a club 1929, a band is playing, Charleston dance with such attractive ladys....thank you for such a show 🙂 And Respect

I absolutely love it ❤ seriously, your dancing makes me so happy with tears, when I need a pickmeup from my bipolar disorder I watch you and it makes me happy 😊thanks for spreading joy🎉😍

OMG! I think I'm on track to set a Gluiness World Record for watching a RU-vid video. Just can't get enough of the pure joy Maria communicates through her dance routine. Absolutely love it.

Great to see another video You are brilliant been too long a wait. More please

Now...that's what I call dancing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I have never seen such excellence before. This is the best 20s dance performance......

I love it! So happy and positive!

Keeping an art style alive on the internet, almost entirely by yourself, is not a minor feat. Well done Maria. Always good to see your cheerful upbeat attitude expressed in dance.

Спасибо, замечательно. Как в старых фильмах про плохих парней. Удачи, красавица!

My grandma won a Charleston contest, or so I was told. Wish I'd got to know her better. Thanks so much for posting this! ❤
