What is Jive?

Jive is a lively and energetic dance that originated in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a type of swing dance that combines elements of jitterbug and Lindy Hop, characterized by its fast-paced, bouncy movements and playful style. Jive is popular in ballroom dance competitions and social dance events, making it a favorite among dancers of all ages.

How to Dance Jive

Jive is known for its quick steps, kicks, and flicks, requiring both stamina and agility. It is danced in a 4/4 time signature, with each bar consisting of two triple steps (chasses) followed by two quick steps (rock steps). The basic rhythm is counted as "1-2, 3-a-4, 5-a-6."

Basic Steps of Jive

Here are the fundamental steps that form the foundation of Jive:

  1. Triple Step to the Left (Chasse): Step left, close right to left, step left again.
  2. Triple Step to the Right (Chasse): Step right, close left to right, step right again.
  3. Rock Step: Step back with your left foot and replace weight onto your right foot.

These steps are repeated, creating a continuous, flowing movement. As you become more comfortable with the basic steps, you can start incorporating kicks, flicks, and turns to add more flair to your dance.
