OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC

“Jive Dance”
The jive is a dance style that originated in the United States from African- Americans in
the early 1930s. The name of the dance “Jive” comes from the name of a form of African-
American Vernacular slang, popularized in the 1930s by the publication of a dictionary by Cab
Calloway, the famous jazz band- leader and singer. In competition ballroom dancing, the Jive is
often grouped with the Latin – inspired ballroom dance, though its roots are based on swing
dancing and not, Latin dancing.
