if these songs came on somewhere like at the savoy, you would see a mix of people doing one step, two step, fox trot, peabody, shag, and lindy hop and charleston.
You still haven't answered the first part of my question, what would you do if those songs came on today?

seeing as how i like to do what people traditionally did to this style of music, the answer is the same. Even though im not as well versed at two step, foxtrot or peabody, i definitly do those to that music as well as lindy hop, charleston, black bottom, balboa, jig walk, tap, authentic jazz, big apple ETC etc etc
