      @@MyMountainHomeandKitchen yes I do too as well. I actually danced along to the vintage Charleston dance when I was in either 5th grade or 6th grade history class. My history teacher at the time had taught us how to do the Charleston dance while I physically in her history class.

      @@user-us1lf7yg8y Yes and no. Square dancing returned to popularity in the 70's and 80's I believe and many people got involved at that point. Then it fell out of popularity again but the original particpatits continued dancing so by the time I get involved most of the particpants were quite elderly. They were excellent dancers, however, as they had kept dancing through the years. They had a wonderful social outlet and kept fit!

      I totally understand. This was an experienced group of folk and square dancers, so they were used to these type of dance moves and calls. If you don't do this type of thing regularly, it can be quite confusing.
