Recognized as a Fifth Latin Dance<\/h2>\n\n

American G.I.s brought the dance to Europe during World War II, where it quickly captured the hearts of young people. Its lively, energetic style was seen as new and exciting. The French embraced the dance, and it gained popularity in Britain as well. By 1968, it had been officially recognized as the fifth Latin dance in International competitions. Today\u2019s ballroom jive is a joyful, upbeat dance characterized by lively flicks and kicks. The music is in 4\/4 time and is typically played at a brisk tempo of around 38 to 44 bars per minute. As a spot dance, it stays mostly in place rather than traveling along the dance floor\u2019s line of dance. The International Style Jive features a relaxed, springy movement, with advanced dancers incorporating plenty of flicks and kicks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
