Know About Jive Dance Lessons
Jive is a popular partner dance that originated in the United States in the 1940s with Swing music and has many influences and comes in different variations such as Boogie, Swing, Lindy Hop, or Jitterbug and many others. The dance is characterized by its fast tempo and energetic movement. The origins of Jive are often traced back to the African-American community in the south of the United States. The dance was popularized in the mainstream by Hollywood movies such as “Swing Time” and “Hellzapoppin”.
Jive is typically danced to music with a 4/4 time signature and a tempo of 40-44 beats per minute. The dance is danced in an 8-count pattern, meaning that there are 8 beats of music for each sequence of movements. The basic step of the Jive is similar to that of other Swing dances, such as East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop. It consists of a triple step (123) followed by a rock step (456). One of the most distinctive features of Jive is its use of syncopated rhythms. This means that the dancers often move on the “off” beats of the music, instead of the “on” beats. This gives the dance a more relaxed and playful feel.
Jive is a very versatile dance, and can be adapted to many different styles of music. It is often seen performed in Rock ‘n’ Roll, Rhythm and Blues, or Swing music. Jive is a great dance for anyone who wants to get up and move! It is perfect for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. So book your trial dance class in our dance studio, put on your dance shoes and let’s Jive!
