Hi Lily,

Good point. Unfortunately I do not seem to have the authority to edit the poll!

Personally, I think it is a shame that there is such a reaction against them. After jiving for 5 years, they add a bit of challenge and feel great when they work. I am also representing the views of a number of ladies that I know! Its horses for courses. Jive, when compared with other more defined dances such as Salsa and Lindy Flop, is great because the "enjoyment to effort ratio" is very high. This suites lots if not most people at jive venues. However, I see moves with steps just the same as drops and air-steps, in that they need to be taught properly and practiced. The only difference is that one does not need a higher limit on one's life insurance!
