Sorry ... but have to disagree with this. Jive is/was something else. Jive was originaly a term for Rock'n'Roll. Look at what Kav Kavanaugh (world Jive champ) teaches ... THATS jive ... as he says authentic 1950's jive.....and he quite clear it is NOT Modern Jive.

As I said ... what Ceroc teach is something that James Cronin (OR LeROC) developed and so is clearly a new dance. The only real debate point is what came first ... Ceroc or Modern Jive?

PS: nice debate but bit like establishing the origins of Stone Henge ... interesting but not really of much impact these days....
