    ummary: Jive is one of the five dances used in

    International Latin dancing competitions. Jive evolved


    from early swing dances like the Boogie-Woogie, Blues
    Swing and the Jitterbug. During World War II
    American soldiers introduced the dance to Europe,
    where it became very popular with the youth. The
    uninhibited and lively motions of Jive were somewhat
    shocking to many of those in the established dance
    community, but this disapproval was soon turned
    towards the emerging rock-n-roll culture. In 1968 the
    Jive was added as the fifth dance used in International
    Latin competition.
