FOR JIVE DANCE LESSONS ENQUIRY

Jive is a lively, and uninhibited variation of the jitterbug. Many basic patterns are similar to those seen in East Coast Swing which has African American origins but was first demonstrated by Cab Calloway in 1934 who called it “jive” due either from its use as glib talk or because these dances come from Africa’s native languages (or both).

It caught on in the United States in the 1940s and was influenced by the Boogie, Rock & Roll, African/American Swing, and Lindyhop.

In International Style ballroom dancing competition, jive is grouped with the Latin dances but it is danced to Western music, with 42 bars per minute in 4/4 time.

Both the East Coast swing and basic jive consist of two triple steps and a rock step.

The jive differs in that the count begins with the rock step, which is counted “1, 2.” The two triple steps are counted “3 and 4” and “5 and 6.” In competition, it is danced at 176 beats per minute.

Jive is a very fun, energetic dance, with lots and lots of knee-lifting, bending, and rocking of the hips. The fastest of the Latin dances, jive incorporates lots of kicks and flicks, even twirling of the woman. It doesn’t involves moving around the dance floor like other dances.
