This 1920's film footage of famous dance teacher Santos Casani and Jose Lennard dancing the Charleston on the roof of a London taxi was one of the era's notable publicity stunts. The stunt was intended to demonstrate that the new 'flat' Charleston required very little space, in contrast to its original 'wild' form. The film was shot by Pathé News at Kingsway in London. Note the gramophone also on the roof of the taxi for accompaniment!
