Both the 20s and Swinging Charleston styles are popular today, though swinging Charleston is more commonly integrated into Lindy Hop dancing . </P> <P> Charleston can be danced solo, or with a partner . Its simple, flexible basic step makes it easy to concentrate on styling, improvisation and musicality . </P> <P> Whichever style of Charleston one chooses, whether dancing alone, with a partner, or in groups, the basic step resembles the natural movement of walking, though it is usually performed in place . The arms swing forward and backwards, with the right arm coming forward as the left leg' steps' forward, and then moving back as the opposite arm / leg begin their forwards movement . Toes are not pointed, but feet usually form a right angle with the leg at the ankle .

Styling varies with each Charleston type from this point . </P> <P> Solo 20s Charleston has gained popularity in the early 2000s, in many local Lindy Hop scenes around the world, prompted by competitions such as the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown (in 2005 and 2006 particularly) and workshops in the dance taught by high - profile dancers such as the Harlem Hot Shots (formerly known as The Rhythm Hot Shots) and a range of independent dancers . </P>
