   I wouldn't know a one step, two step, nor Peabody from a hole in the ground. It's fine dancing to me just the same. I just like anything from the '20s except for the Great Depression in 1929.

   They don't close their feet together enough for it to be quickstep. What you're seeing is peabody, as the title suggests.

   Amazing! I want to learn how to dance like that. I'm in St. Louis, MO, do you know anybody in the area connected with dance groups?

   it was the forerunner to foxtrot and quickstep quickstep being the british standardized version of fast foxtrot but peabody is american and clearly allows open positions and turns.

   Rocking?! I asume you meant 'swinging'.

   Just great. Energetic fun! Thanks for posting, jamcellar.

   Okay, I shouldn't say "boring, ballroom"...that's a bit stuffy. "Sedate" and "uninteresting to me, imo" might be a better descriptive.

    Thanks for your response! I do a LOT of one step, two step, charleston and foxtrot to ragtime and 1920's jazz. I also don't like the uptight ballroom style, but am definately not a lindy hopper. I see this as a lindy hoppers version of the 20's as he song is swing. Broadway Melody of 1929 has a party dance scene where Anita Page does the two step, and other couples one step. This is what people were really doing.

    It can be smooth, but you can also "street" dance it as well. Personally I don't like this particular style their exhibiting (I don't like the ultra-smooth, boring, ballroom style either), but they were energetic and upbeat while mixing Charleston into it, and many areas were spot on clean. Energy and passion is what pulls interest into these type of dances; we need more of it! Check around - you may see a style of Peabody you like better!

    i am SO obsessed with anything to do with the roaring twenties, i loved this! (and that lady was so cute, she reminds me of olive oyl from popeye :P)

    This dance looks like the forerunner of the modern competitive dance quickstep. Great job!

    dude, this is awesome!

    h9ow phenomenal...my grandmother and great uncle used to win contests all the time in the 30s and 40s....HOW BEAUTIFUL....they are both wonderful...

    Is Peabody just a sloppy one step? Check out Vernon and Irene Castle for the real deal.
17. Gideon, on January 9th, 2009 at 20:39:33 Said:
    Bourbonne Street Parade, unless I am mistaken.
18. Cydney, on January 9th, 2009 at 21:02:32 Said:
    This is just so wonderful - and the period dress adds to it! My Granny would be rockin with you!!

    I'm curious what you find so 'inaccurate' about their wardrobe? Last time I checked, the dropped waistline, knee length dress, small heels and the low crown hat that the lady is wearing seems to be pretty spot on, as does the bow tie, jacket, baggy trousers and boater hat for the man recall the era.
20. Dell, on January 9th, 2009 at 21:48:30 Said:
    What a tremendously heartwarming performance! Reminds me of photos of my grandparents quickstepping at Raffles before Japan invaded Singapore.

    Accuracy? Music, dance& clothing is of that period.Cloche-check, Drop waist flapper style dress-check.Are the shoes off for you? I've tried Lindy and Charleston in period shoes, you're not winning any contests in a pair of those. Dancing/competing in vintage can also ruin your clothes.A strennous number, especially with faster, more frenetic music with multiple spins requires newly made clothing.Their period look was better than many competition Lindy Hoppers.

    Lets compare apples to apples here !!!Who Cares about the wardrobe. This is a dance contest you are looking at. The name of the game is "who is the best dancing couple." They are judged on their dancing ability for the era presented, not the clothing. Stop being a nitpicker & watch this video to enjoy possibly the best peabody dancers in America today.

    This couldn't be any less related to the 1920's, they should work on the accuracy of their wardrobe in correlation to the era of the music they dance to.
