You wanna see some Charleston? Watch "Its a Wonderful Life." Theres a Charleston-off scene that's priceless.

There is 20's and 40's Charleston. This is the version that became popular in the 1940's alongside Lindy Hop. Also, the action should not come from lifting the knee when kicking (the knee should lift, but not as high as they are showing it.) Originally, partner Charleston (from the 20's) was done facing each other, just offset a little.  There were two types: Uptown (where Harlem and the Savoy Ballroom were located), and Downtown (Done mostly in Caucasian Ballrooms).
