Wow!! Did you see that little kid? He really danced this well, he was jammin' LOL. Great video, I love both these dances. Thank you for posting this gem.
For those of you who know dance: 1920's Charleston and Argentinian Tango are very different in character, but have some surprising features in common. They both put strong demands on your axis control, and the technique of leading and following is the same. Swing dancers find it hard to learn this kind of communications, but tango dancers take it right away, because it is what they already know.
Beautiful video! The tango vs The Charleston? They are expression from our South and North America. For our people tango is a sentence (sentimiento) and charleston is a amusement (diversión). Our tango´s dance is very different than european and american films (Valentino) . Greetings from Argentina and: Viva el tango y el charleston!
Those kids are pretty darn good! Wish I were so light on my feet at such a young age. :) Thanks for the beautiful video, both styles were a delight to watch.
The Charleston is better, hands down! You can't help but jump up and move! Perhaps being Carolinian sways by opinion but I just think it's the greatest! You can dance the Charleston to just about any rhythm and look good doing it!

Play tango four times faster, and you have Charleston.

Well Tango is downbeat and The Charleston is upbeat, so really depends if your "Down." Or "Up" for it.
