Description: 28-count, Couples progressive circle dance
Note: This dance was taught in the Metro East St Louis Area as "Trash Ladies". Sometime ago I sent a message out asking if anyone knew it and got one response that said they called the dance "Trashy Woman". But the steps DID match. Then in Nov '96 I came upon this dance. It's identical, EXCEPT as "Trashy Ladies/Woman" it started with the 3 shuffles. I located "Charleston Bump" on 3 or 4 web sites and found a few references in some dance magazines.
