Dancing was another popular form of entertainment, and it often appealed to the younger crowd. Freer dancing styles were invented because clothes were less restricting and it was often seen as “Scandalous.” Dances that were created in this era included the Charleston, the Lindy-hop, and the Tango. Old favorites like the waltz and foxtrot remained popular as well.
