What Makes Jive So Special?
Jive is all about energy and rhythm. With quick triple steps, rock-step patterns, and bouncy, rocking movements, this dance brings laughter, lightness, and a little challenge to the floor. The signature style of Jive comes from lively knee action and the use of hips to create its characteristic bounce, all performed in time with the music.

Fast footwork with clean technique
Mastering the basic steps of Jive
How to use your hips for the dance’s signature bounce
Partner connection and lead/follow fundamentals
How to dance confidently at events, showcases, or competitions
Musicality and rhythm control, including dancing in time with the music
