Partnered Charleston started in the 1920s with the male and female dancers connected in a face to face position.  As the Charleston was incorporated into other swing dance forms over the years it morphed to match the changes in the music and the dancers ended up in a side-by-side position, hand-to-hand position and also in an in-line position. The basics and several moves in each of these positions will be taught in this session.  Charleston is relatively easy to learn and is certainly an easy way to add some flash to your dancing.  (New moves will be taught in each 5 week Charleston session.)
