Jive

Simply put Jive can be described as EC Swing in fast forward. Fast and bouncy the Jive fuses EC Swing with lots of kicks and spins keeping the dance interesting. Due to it's super fast nature, the Jive is not usually available to beginners and is more reserved for the International circuit. Jive does have a lot of good social use, but the extensive kicking action make it a hard dance to perform on crowded dance floors (not that it's a bad thing). In stead of Jive, the Jitterbug (Single Step Swing) makes a great substitute for when the dance floor gets too busy and because it moves to the same music, you won't be sitting out any dances. On the other hand, if you have the time and patience and have a pretty good understanding in EC Swing, you should have no problem getting this one off the ground at all.
