As someone who dances different swing styles, the thing I hear often from instructors is that watching is the best way to learn. When this dance started, there were no lessons. You showed up, watched, maybe someone was nice enough to show you the basics or a few moves. But you learned by watching and by experimenting.
Is this not swing? I noticed their styling was different than what I am used to, but the steps are the same as East Coast swing. What's the difference between Jive and Swing?
Great question! Jive and swing are very similar, and many swing steps are also jive steps! Triple Swing has different technique, and is much slower than Jive. When it comes to competition, Jive is an international Latin style while Swing is an American Rhythm style, so they are danced in different competitive categories. Hope this helps!
@@eamonburns9597 Jive is a regulated dance in a competitive ball room system which includes 5 different named dance styles in that system. Jive most noticeably leaves partners responsible for their own weight more than either west cost or east cost swing / lindyhop. Google swing out and notice the ones that seem like they would be the most pleasurable they wont be in Jive.
There is something so graceful about the both of you.
Thank you!
I want more moves to toss in when I lead and this is super helpful!
Another amazing job, as always, well done.
