Charleston Dance Becomes Popular
The charleston dance became popular after appearing along with the song, "The Charleston," by James p. Johnson in the broadway musical Runnin' Wild in 1923. The dance was tracked back to the black who lived on an island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. The Charleston dance had been performed in black communities since 1903 but didn't become popular till 1923.
