The term 'Charleston' is associated with two distinct things. The first is a DANCE, which is a type of jazz-influenced DANCE that originated in the 1920s and became popular in the United States. It is characterized by its fast-paced, syncopated movements and is often performed to ragtime music. The second is the CITADEL, a military college located in Charleston, South Carolina. Founded in 1842, it is one of the six senior military colleges in the United States and is known for its rigorous academic and military training programs.
