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.
