Jive and Swing Steps

 

Jive is the faster version of the swing.

Dancers use a more bouncy type movement using the balls of the feet a lot.

 

A lot of kicks are used in jive.

Jive is an American dance that evolved from a dance called the Jitterbug

by removing the lifts and acrobatic elements.

 

The Boogie, Rock & Roll and the American Swing also influenced this dance.

 

Jive is a very fast, energy-consuming dance.

It is the last dance danced at the competitions.

 

The Jive is danced to music written in 4/4 time.

The same time value (6 beats in 4/4 time) is used for

single, double or triple jive.

 

The difference in rhythm is determined by the number of steps,

according to the speed of music.
