JIVE
History
There are a lot of different stories about the origins of the jive, but one thing that seems fairly certain, is that the American GIs brought the dance to Europe during the Second World War, and it quickly became labelled a 'corrupting influence' on the youth. Elements of the jitterbug and lindy hop had helped to develop the jive into the dance we know today
The dance
The jive should be a bright, fast dance, with lots of precise, sharp footwork. Expect to see lots of flicks (from the knee) and kicks (from the hips), with plenty of twists, turns and twirls, and bags and bags of energy. Definitely not one for the faint hearted!
The judges in Strictly Come Dancing will be looking for dancers to be up on the balls of their feet, with precise footwork, as well good use of the arms with lines extended right through to the end of the fingers and no flailing or flapping limbs!

The best of Strictly
One jive has stood out in Strictly history and has set the benchmark against which all subsequent jives will be measured - and that was from Jill & Darren in series 2. When they danced their routine in only week three, they scored 35 points, but when they danced in the series final on the beautiful Blackpool ballroom floor, they were the first couple in Strictly history to be awarded the perfect four 10s from the judges.
In series 8, we saw the best male celebrity jive come from Scott & Natalie, who scored three 10s and a total of 39 points for their routine danced to "Hit The Road Jack", with Craig being booed by the audience for awarding a 9. Chelsee & Pasha also scored 39 for their Shrek themed routine on "Movie Week" in series 9, with Bruno saying it was Chelsee's fast track to the semi-final and Alesha telling Chelsee she'd found her dance.
The worst of Strictly
Essential skills for the jive, is a sense of rhythm and timing, along with fast, clean footwork, so if you don't have that, you won't be able to jive. Unfortunately, neither Michael & Natalie in series 10, Chris & Hanna in series 1 or Fiona & Brendan in series 3 managed to master even the basics of the routine. Michael lacked timing, technique and performance, and scored just 15 points for the lowest scoring jive on Strictly ever.
