1930s dance and music

The 1930s dance steps include bits from the Jive, swing and jitterbug

The Jive: 
The Jive originally came from the United States from the African-Americans, in the 1930s.
the Jive is a lively, bouncy dance which is similar to both Jitterbug and the Swing Dance.


Swing Dance:
The most well-known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, a fusion of jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston, which originated in Harlem in the early 1920s.


The Jitterbug:

The jitterbug is a kind of dance popularized in the United States in the early twentieth century and is associated with various types of swing dances such as the Lindy Hop, The Jive, and East Coast Swing.



All of these dances were quite similar in with the style and were all very popular.
