Carolina Charleston Craze Kicking Originated Wild Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Charleston Sweetie, a woman embodying the infectious spirit of the Charleston dance craze that swept the nation during the Roaring Twenties. Originating in Charleston, South Carolina, this back-kicking dance became an instant sensation following the release of the musical, "Runnin' Wild," in 1923. The Charleston dance was characterized by its wild and energetic moves, which contrasted sharply with the more restrained dance styles of the time. Women, in particular, embraced the Charleston as a symbol of freedom and rebellion, shedding their corsets and embracing a more carefree and expressive style of movement. In this photograph, the Charleston Sweetie exudes confidence and joy as she kicks up her heels and lets loose. Her bright, flapper-style dress and bobbed hair are emblematic of the era's fashion trends, while her mischievous grin and twinkling eyes suggest a sense of fun and playfulness. The Charleston dance craze was a historical moment in American culture, marking a time of great social and artistic innovation. This photograph serves as a reminder of the energy and excitement that defined the 1920s and the enduring appeal of the Charleston dance. With its lively rhythms and infectious spirit, the Charleston continues to captivate audiences and inspire dancers to this day.
