Re: E.C. Swing Vs Jive

East Coast Swing is an American Style of dance (Rhythm) and Jive is an International Style of dance (Latin). They each have their own syllibi from beginner to advanced- Jive has a strict syllabus of steps, but you can find different syllibi for the Swing. Yes, they have steps in common, often named differently, because the Swing has a 'loose' syllabus, you can do Jive steps in Swing, but to the Swing tempo. E. C. Swing also has single, double, and triple timing.

Jive is a much faster dance. It isn't really done vertically. It has a serious lean forward so that the fast footwork is possible without the bounce. You will also see a lot of kicks and flicks and it will follow a jive syllabus unless it is open gold and then it will follow whatever...
