If it's dancers, for 1920's I'd do 12th Street Rag.
Engaging and familiar novelty tune, fun "typical" moves that most can
pick up fairly quickly.
Actually easier than Salty Dog, which usually gets mentioned.
Dead-pan Youtube version:

If it's civilians, you can modify 12th St to make it easier, ask for
details if you want or just make up your own.
