About Frankie Drake Mysteries:
This drama series, set in stylish 1920s Toronto, follows the female-only agency Drake Private Detectives, led by the eponymous Frankie Drake and her partner Trudy Clarke. Incorporating a brand of justice that doesn't always follow the law, Frankie and Trudy investigate mysteries and crimes that either the police refuse to take on, or that their clients cannot take to the police at all. Against a backdrop of social change, radical politics and jazz music, the series is immersed in both the real Toronto of the 1920s and the world of mystery and suspense conjured by creators Carol Hay and Michelle Ricci.

My grandma likes telling stories about my great-grandma, who ran away from home to America in the VERY late 1800s (she was 16).
She tells me that my great grandma LOVEDDDD dancing and singing, and how she was very beautiful. She says her favorite dance was the Charleston, so i would love to learn!
Love you, Great Grandma Silvia!
Love this dance- I can do it until people start paying attention and I lose train of thought. Then my legs get out of sync 😭💀🤣
same
Same here..
But who cares...
Same 😂
It's the 20's boys
Famous last words
@@rexjolles Expected a swing revival, got a pandemic and the great depression
@@silverblood9456 they forgot to start the pandemic in 2018 and that the depression doesn't start until the 2030s
@@silverblood9456 right 😂😔
And soon the 20's will reference the 2020's, not the 1920's
That dance move is literally 100 years old. Pretty wild seeing it incorporated into modern dance.
Figured out how to do the dance because of this, it’s the 20’s now buster!
So awesome to find Black folks dancing our dances!!♥️ sharing with my 300 plus students in Miami💦💯 🎩👑
renee chavez our?
@@jefflh9200 the dance was originally created by African Americans
@@Donirexian i know that
So weird to see black folks using technology that’s not theirs
@@jefflh9200 The person said "our" because they themselves are more than likely black.
Thanks!
I have to come up with choreography for a class I'm taking and my group decided we wanted a tiny bit of the charleston dance in there and most of us didn't know how to do it
This was so short and simple and now we can carry on with our choreography!
I love her voice. It’s so clear
i've never been interested in dance at all. i can waltz, which i think is 'installed' by default.
this two minutes started a tempo, then built it to completion with expert instruction in such a pleasant way, so smoooothly i just...
wow, that was cool. and? i can totes do the Charleston.
I have so much admiration for professional dancers they’re a delight to watch
Interracial couple dancing to the Charleston, we need more of this in society, it would put an end to the usual racism conflict narrative.
First off they're not interracial, they're both African American. Secondly Hollywood is doing exactly what you just said and it's backfiring big time, it's only made racism go up if you ask me.
I stumbled upon a version of the Charleston on an Instagram reel and oddly enough, it got me interested in learning how to dance
There's a Halloween party coming up in my city and I wanna let loose for once instead of sitting at the bar with my friends like last year
@@eggy7346 how did it go?
heck yeah!!
They are great dancers, and she is so beautiful!!
Yessssss🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 rehearsing for Godspell and wanted to learn how to Charleston to “Bless the Lord” (the ending). Thank you soooo much!!!! This was excellent teaching!!!!
Well. If that wasn't the dopest, coolest, swaggest lil presentation.! Nicholas Brothers at the end. LOVED ❤
Mom taught me this. Didn't get much chance ot do it at dances, etc., but like to do it at home. BTW, these folks are great !
30 min of 1920s dancing beats 30 min on the treadmill any day!
She is an amazing teacher! So easy to do and she made it fun.. thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ So easy!!!
This is like shuffling in the 60’s 😂
Almost, its the 1920s actually 😋
The Charleston Chew candies is named after this iconic dance!
Turkey tom invented this back during the transatlantic trade he saw everyone sad and depressed so he decided to cheer them up by inventing a jolly dance
@@kkegg this is true btw
Thanks! I'm going to try to get the other social studies teacher to do a dance with me at the next school talent show haha
For the 1920s making a comeback in 2020, I am going to learn at least one 1920s dance move
Art Deco revival would be nice as well
Turkey Tom taught me this
She has a great voice, she should do voice overa
Love it. Simple, short, clear, lovely vid; thank you for making this!!

So how do I explain that I’m here because of an animated dancing cat…
CRUSHIN’ bugs LOVE. Many thanks for cool instructions :)
Damn, your skin is absolutely flawless! Such a beautiful color!
Was just about to write on just how amazing her skin tone is! Gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Not me watching this video while eating a Charleston chew and showing my bf how to dance. I love this era in history.
Listen, I just started taking tap classes, and my group is already preparing for a recital 🥴. Why have I always been able to do the Charleston when I'm playing around or just dancing for fun, but the minute I put on tap shoes and see that it's part of the dance routine my legs and feet don't work? I'm really struggling🤣, but I'm glad I found this video. Yall did a great job teaching the steps. Imma properly squish those bugs in no time!
Everybody do this dance while you're still healthy and capable! I can't do it now because I broke my hip when I sneezed after a street urchin threw a pocket full of lint, dandruff, and cat dander in my face for a lark. I was in Charleston at the time and when the locals found out I was no longer able to do the special native dance, they tarred and feathered me and ran me right out of town on a rail. I'd never been so humiliated in my life for free.
I can't believe people did something this complex for fun back in the day.
And now they call it The Shuffle, and people think i's new.
Thank you so much❤
BLACK PEOPLE!!!! I was looking for the history of the dance and thats the first thing ya'll said. INSTANTLY almost shed a tear. Thank you!!!!
Omg the hair has got me tickled because that curly Afro is definitely how they used to wear their hair.
thank you, very helpful for a history presentation! love the outfits, really fits the style back then
Love the period costuming. Thank you for sharing!
It’s not even historically accurate AT ALL. Why is she wearing an afro in the 1920’s? That didn’t come until 50 years later!
@@LightYagami-xl1wz This is why girls won't dance with you
@@LightYagami-xl1wz that's her natural hair, it always existed? 💀
you made it look so easy - thank you for doing this!!! for a short video, i learned a lot.
Excellent!! Great dancers, both of you!
It's the 20s, which means it's time to bring back the charleston
I'm pretty sure I was dancing messy version of Charleston on Punk Rock festival when I was drunk like hell. It influenced pogo.
Amazing! Thanks for this straight forward tutorial. I'm using this for a commercial acting audition 😅
This song epitomizes what people today want to think the 1920s was like. The truth is that this song and dance was a minor craze in 1925 and was viewed by the majority of people as an amusing novelty at best and vulgar and low class at worst. Most people preferred waltzes and fox-trots. If you want to hear what normal 1920s music sounded like listen to the Colonial Club Orchestra, Regent Club Orchestra on the Brunswick label or The Troubadours or Nat Shilkret on Victor. The real 1920s sound was romantic, heavy on strings with vocals by tenors but I know that isn't what people today want to hear.... since they are obsessed with hot jazz and race music and then project their preferences on the past.
Turkey Tom needs to do this already
I appreciate the history lesson!! Also this was the best description! Feeling more confident with this move 😌
Estupenda explicació! Senzilla, clara, divertida!
I actually really love this dance. People think I’m crazy doing it and this is why I don’t go to clubs. 😂
ok shes gorgeous woah
Agreed, she’s REALLY beautiful 😍❤️
Is nobody talking about how PRETTY she is?
Amazing, I'm trying to study this dance to make a 3D character dance it and this video has helped me with the essentials and the rest of the stylish freedom this dance gives you :)
Oof, i’m so bad at dancing but I’ve always wanted to learn this one, I think I need a broken down board. It was fun to try tho. The second I start twisting my brain is like no
i get you 😭 all these comments are like "wow this qas so helpful thank you" but i cant figure it out
same
Step one: okay, yeah, I got it
Step two: both legs are broken, tied in a knot
Holy. This is so short but the best tutorial
This is my favorite dance, I look forward to practicing it.
Elegant and energetic.
You both are so beautiful! I'm a sandlapper for life. Love it!
Ya'll are awesome!!!👏😁😉
I’m just learning it for a miku dance heh
sameee
Same!
Please-More Charleston videos!!!
Yall look so good doing it too!!!! 😊
I remember this, learning this in school.
I love that you danced the Charleston😄
I can’t dance, so I’d be useless in the 20s but god I love watching people with rhythm just go go go
I’d love to learn this - it looks so free and fun -
I wanted to learn the Charleston after watching the cast do the dance on Family Matters.
*A* *N* *K* *L* *E* break
Love the visuals and graphics!!
You're amazing! ❤❤😊
thanks so much for a wonderful easy following tutorial ^^ just gotta train a bit more then i have it
Kid n Play! AKA Charleston. 😊❤
*I'm afraid I haven't been a very good Host, Old Sport.*
It's simpler than I'd thought---for years, I'd thought that the dance step where you're touching your hands with your thighs and having your hands trade places when your knees touch was the Charleston...I guess I wasn't *exactly* wrong, but I wasn't exactly right, either!
Attractive, Talented dancers...thank you for the tutorial
I love this video... I always find myself coming back here from time to time.
Thank you
I see it, I understand it. But, I don’t know that I can accomplish it lol
"Want to come back to my place and do the horizontal Charleston"
The Rock brought me here 😂😂
You'll look great doing the Charlestown, try it.
People on tik tok calling this astro slide lmao. As a Bboy we were always told to learn the history of the styles
Thank you for this outstanding video
wow... ya'll are good dancers. Keep it up.
Beautiful couple, very classy- and helpful!
im doing my schools production of anything goes and this helps a lot
Excellent, but, with two replacement joints I'll sit and admire those (like YOURSELVES) who can hoof it. Thank you! BTW...I was a fairly decent dancer until about 7 years ago (okay, on three, everyone cry for me.....lol.) BTW, I could've done his last move easily....then.... no more kids for me.
I have to do this for an academic grade
You guys are awesome. Have a Great Gatsby themed party tomorrow night. Looking up 20s moves.
Better than what kids do these days
moist critikal actually made this dance back in the 1920s my source trust me I was there
You meen ive been doing the Charleston this whole time without noticing it
Puedo hacerlo descalza?
wush i had learned to dance the charleston when i was 18. i'm 52 now and never could dance
If it was invented in Charleston, how come the first time its originator danced it, it was 'on Broadway'? For a lesson in how to dance to period music, it would have been nice to have used some period music instead of this modern thuddy stuff.
Lol after watching so many of your videos I'm not surprised you're a nit-picker about about period dances.
I know right and as someone who takes great interest in the period his white tie and tails are all over the place
Because he invented it WHILE IN Charleston, but just performed it in front of people for the first time on Broadway. It's not rocket science 🙄🤣.
Oh, and this "modern thuddy stuff" still has musical elements of the 1920s. Loosen up a little.
I kinda agree though, the original music would have been better
Does anyone know the name of the song in the beginning?
You look like you’re floating ❤️
Well, part of it, at least.
Kidsongs got me learn this dance
Beautiful people and so talented. Blacks all seem to know how to dance the night away. Good for them.
