In the Jive old meets new. It combines the shaman’s tam-tam with the kinetic charm of a four-stroke engine. This sparkling mix is intoxicating and makes the dancer’s arms and legs move ferociously. His partner is just an abstract fixed point in the room and completely unerotic. In a cultural history perspective, Jive can be compared to an abstract painting by Picasso.
The Jive grew out of the Blues and has had many names: Boogie Woogie, Jitterbug, Bebop and Rock`n`Roll. They all mean almost the same and can only be separated by slight time differences in their development stage. The Jive combines these styles. Its beginning can be traced to the end of the roaring twenties, a decade still surrounded by a legendary, almost mythical aura.
After the chaos of the First World War people were ready to devote themselves entirely to music, dance and happiness. This is why this decade has had such an influence on dance culture. With Black Friday in 1929, the beginning of a worldwide economical depression, this legendary decade came to a sudden end.
