This season, the iconic Charleston dance is born and gives rise to the kind of dancing which will embody the era of the roaring 20s. The future is not fully bright however, as Woodrow Wilson explains his disappointment in US isolationism and failure to join the League of Nations. While much of the world hopes for a post-conflict future where prosperity and dancing are the cornerstones of life, such failure in international cooperation is a foreshadowing of future trouble.

The choice of a martini was perfect. However, was it made using a 1920s recipe, or a modern one?

The Charleston was only one of the dances of the era. There was, of course, The Geechie, The Mess Around, The Black Bottom and The Scrontch.
