Fair point ... don't think it really matters (unless you are in business of modern jive then it can matter lots....).
The intersting thing is that I'm yet to hear anyone define what Modern Jive is. Ceroc is whatever Ceroc teach ..... not sure if taht makes any more or any less sense.
Re it being called JIVE .... sorry .. that I really do have a problem with. say JIVE to Jo Puiblic and they're thinking retro dancing, quiffed haircuts and rock around the clock ... no wonder we've got an image problem! The whole reason I got into Ceroc/Modern Jive was that I could dance it to modern music at places where normal people go i.e. parties, weddings, nightclubs ... not just some little village hall somewhere... personal view entirely
Jusr re-rad what I wrote. Ceroc CAN be all things to all people ... some popel like the retro-R&R thing ... and thats great. Its just that I don't ... each to their own etc.
