There were some great dances from that era. The Lindy, The Charleston, even the two step came from that time. Your best bet is to rent a bunch of Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies and take notes.

How fun! Jitterbug, Charleston, Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing--and don't forget the dance marathons.

I believe East Coast swing and West Coast swing are the forms of swing that developed later than 1920s

It was a time when swing dancing gained popularity, as the previous dancers indicate. But please don't overlook Wlatz and Foxtrot and Tango and Polka as social dances of the time.
