I really like this video clip from the Gatsby Picnic 2008 where Lynne Koehlinger and Peter Varshavsky perform a 1920's partner charleston routine to Jimmie Noone's Apex Orchestra song "Every Evening (I Miss You)".
The charleston dancing looks very airy and light and there is all sorts of charleston in the routine; partner charleston, solo charleston and breakaways (that later on developed into lindy hop swingouts). I'd like to get better at charleston, it's been a while since we had charleston workshop in town.
What do you think of the video clip? Please comment.

This is a call to everyone to please step outside the right vs. left paradigm. While there are important issues worth debating within this paradigm, all of them will be moot if we do not focus on a much greater issue outside this paradigm. Thomas Jefferson warned of wealth concentrating to such an extent that it threatened the state. Nowadays the media has taught us all very well to ridicule anyone who talks of central banks usurping the power of government. Well now I suppose the media will have to laugh at themselves, as many outlets from Newsweek to the Financial Times of London are openly discussing the creation of a "bank of the world" that will control economic policies of every nation. I invite you to watch this video, which details how this is currently taking place. While it focuses on our current officials' cooperation with these plans, it steps out of the typical political paradigm by highlighting the cooperation of both parties. Please do not look to politicians to protect us. Only we can protect us. And our first step must be to reach out to police and military. Without their cooperation, the global elite won't have the muscle to exercise their will of oppression. Please share this oath-keepers blog with them.
To Whom It May Concern:
I came across your web site and thought it was a great fit for our music brand: http://www.shockhound.com I was wondering if you could direct me to the right person to talk about a potential partnership which entails sending you exclusive promotions, events, information, etc… and you would then post up on your site? Right now we are working with Jazz and Blues…if this is something you would like to chat about or partner up with please email me so we can get something started. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,

I like her Style a lot, as you hinted they did a more modern dance routine/performance then what would have been done at the time the Charleston was the rage.
Obviously, few are concerned with authenticity, But with that aside, it's 2 good dancers doing a good performance.
