  • 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.

    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 !!

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

    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 . . .

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

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

    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!

    This is one of those dances that you have to be an extremely talented dancer to execute without looking totally goofy. Kudos to her.
  • @gardetto265
    This makes me so grateful that there are people out there like this....
  • 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!

    Yes, yes the Queen of JazzyFeet is back! Adorable, awesome!
  • @Dakiniwoman
    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.

    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.
