Jiving

Unlike bopping (see here), jiving (known as jitterbug or swing in the USA) doesn’t seem to be performed atrociously by people, so this article only wants to draw attention to some great examples of the style.

A recent example from 2019 by German couple Dietmar and Nellia shows that not all of us lose it as they grow old ; I kid you not, they are the template of rock’n’roll jive!

Simon & Tracy Witcombe jiving to Cliff Richard’s ‘move it’ at the Wildest Cat in Town Xmas weekender 2010, Pontins, Pakefield (YT upload by Andy Munday).
