Summary:

Volume II of Dancetime! takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of American social dance in the 20th century. Watch as each innovative dance explodes onto the scene, reflecting the decades of the 1900s. As people and ideas began to travel more quickly, dance styles and fads were born, popularized, and transformed. In this video, see authentic recreations of the elegant Castle Walk, spunky Charleston and Black Bottom, desperate Dance Marathons, acrobatic Jitterbug, rebellious Breakdancing, startlingly innovative Hip-Hop, and others.In character and period costumes, the dancers introduce each decade of the 1900s through song. Experience the moves and attitudes of vivacious flapper girls, partners in a dramatic and charged rendition of the Apache, and disco dancers showing off their routines. As the century draws to a close, watch the improvisations of hippies, b-boys, vogue dancers, and more.
