Black Bottom 1926, and The Black Bottom Dance

The Varsity Drag introduction is an error. The Black Bottom replaced "The Charleston" as the next most popular dance of the 1920's. Released June 28, 1926. Written by Buddy De Sylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson. In 1925, DeSylva became one third of the songwriting team with lyricist Lew Brown and composer Ray Henderson. De Sylva, Brown and Henderson became one of the top Tin Pan Alley songwriters of the era. Black bottom dancing was for the young and energetic. This song and style of dancing were popular in the1920's. The dancers performing, and the orchestra are from 1956, Rod Alexander Gemze de Lappe and The Dance Jubilee Troupe

Thank you MaynardCat! What an amazing dance & equally amazing group of dancers! Do you happen to know if they are a company? I'd love to see other stuff by them.

Outrageously delightful! Many thanks...

I can say with great confidence and from personal experience that doing this kind of dancing is better than any anti depressant for boosting your mood.
