I wouldnt agree that the end result of swing dancing is always much better to watch than modern jive.
I'd say theres more jive dancers around but less advanced jive dancers, but thats partly because its much easier to get to a impressive level of jive dancing (having tried lindy hop i can safely say Jive is FAR easier for me)- so theres loads of people at that level and less at the really advanced level. When you do see really advanced jivers though - such as at advanced competition level - they are amazing. Its more a case of numbers doing the dancing and the difficulty level of the style - someone correct me if Im way off the mark here !
