Hollywood Golden Age of Cinema @HGACinema - The amazing 1920s dance craze that was the Charleston. Featuring a rare 1925 film of original Charleston dancer Bee Jackson.
Who Invented the Charleston Dance?
The famous Cotton club dancer and choreographer Elida Webb devised the dance steps to the Charleston and it was first performed in the Broadway stage show Running Wild (1923). The song was composed by James P. Johnson. A young aspiring dancer Bee Jackson saw the show and reportedly learned the steps from Webb. Bee Jackson went on to be dubbed the “Charleston Queen” popularising the Charleston dance for a larger white audience.
By 1925 flappers across the world were dancing to the Charleston. Running Wild featured a Black American cast of dancers and singers. 100 years later the song and dance is most notably recalled every Christmas during the iconic Charleston Dance scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) .
The dance has its earlier origins in South Carolina’s Black American Gullah Geechee community. It was brought to Harlem New York by the Jenkins Orphanage Band of Charleston in the early 1900s. James P Johnston said the tune was inspired by the syncopated rhythms he heard the band play. Likewise, Elida Webb said that many of the steps she choreographed to the Charleston were inspired by the Orphanage Band dancers, who were mostly children.
The Charleston was the Breakdance of its era.
