The Roaring 20's


Fashion in the 20's was essential to the changes that took place during the time period. It included the change of Flappers, parties and the amount that people were familiar with their sexualities. The 20's were definitely a time of celebration, and there were a lot of fads. Dancing was very popular.

People loved to dance. Some of the most famous clubs were the 'Charleston', the 'Fox Trot', and the 'Shimmy'. Some dance marathons were held, and the longest record of dancing to this day was a full 3 weeks. Dancing was essential to the 20's.

The radio during the 1920's was very popular as well. It allowed public access to much information, and was the first huge breakthrough toward American Entertainment. Although radios were quite expensive and they were only owned by certain people of greater wealth, they became more obtainable and popular over time.
