FOR JIVE DANCE LESSONS ENQUIRY

Jive is a lively, and uninhibited variation of the jitterbug. Many basic patterns are similar to those from East Coast Swing music that originates in Africa-American culture but has been adopted by many other cultures over time for its varied rhythms across geographical regions around our world!

Cab Calloway was the first to demonstrate Jive in 1934 and it caught on with African-American Swing dancers soon after. Swing music was originally played for dancing, which is how the dance got its name: “Jitterbug”. The word jive comes from innovations like Boogie Woogie , Rock & Roll, Afro American Swinging / Lindy Hop.

The name either comes African dance terms or from jive being a form of glib talk. Jive became a generic term for swing in the United Kingdom.

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