I'm working on an art project which depicts popular dance styles (partner or solo) from 1910 to 2000, one decade at a time. While anything past 1950 is easy to figure out, anything before that is really stumping me.
Does anyone have any details on these, or know a good resource for me to use? Maybe just names of some dances? I'm having a really hard time figuring this one out.
Thanks guys!

1910s This was the Ragtime Era, when among others, there were a variety of 'animal dances';
the kangaroo hop, the duck waddle, the turkey trot, the bunny hug, the grizzly bear and others.
Also the foxtrot, the tango and the waltz
1920s Charleston, Black Bottom, Foxtrot, Tango, Waltz
1930s Lindy Hop, Balboa, St Louis Shag (yes, really!)
1940s This was the era of the big bands and 'swing':
Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, West Cast Swing, Boogie woogie, Jive, Early Rock and Roll.
Hope this helps

Shirley Temple is a really great dancer. Dances before 1950s are Charleston and cakewalk.

I think the Charleston was from the 1920's. Here are a few website to look at:
