Both Jive and Quickstep are so cute, energetic and fun! But sadly as you've said normally they are of the lowest priority when learning the dances. But I think they're good exercises to do in the morning to wake you up XD
annie Definitely great to get the heart pumping! We're probably biased, but will take jive over quick step any morning 🤭😅☀️ . Oops did I say that out loud?! Anyway, where are these dances on your priority list??
I am a beginner, am so happy to watch ur video teaching slowly and repetation many many times. Can u teach cha cha as slow as possible like this. Great! Thanks for sharing.
Such a fun lesson. I've always wanted to learn jive and now I can. Super comprehensive and I know there is still a lot of technique to be learnt !!, but I'm excited to just start with getting these steps. Thanks for making this video. And I especially enjoy your vibrance and joy in teaching us and dancing together.
Joan Peacock thank you! Glad you are enjoying this lesson. We all start some place... Keep it up. 👍🏼 Any questions, let us know. Do you dance other styles?
I'm heading back to basics to improve and consolidate technique whilst removing bad habits with all the dances. You are always very informative & hilarious. Thanks a million !!
I'm sooooo happy that I found this channel. UA-cam did a good job recommending it. haha. Not only are you really good dancers, your teaching is just FANTASTIC. I'm a huGE fan. This is really well broken down and easy to follow for me. I really like the Mooch and hip bump steps. Thanks LiWen & Tytus.
Back in the day my mom and my uncle were really good at jive, from what I been told they would go to dances and everyone would circle around them just to watch them do the jive. Wish I could have seen them. My mom is 80 now and if she had a partner I’m sure she could still . I love watching you video
@@DanceInsanity I'm in uni and we have a subject where we need to create a Training. I chose ballroom, focusing on Latin-American Dances, basically Cha cha and Jive. So I checked your video and found that you just uploaded the vid, so yeah THANK YOU!
Thanks for a terrific explanation and demonstration. All your efforts are appreciated . The explanation on leading and terminology are really helpful .
I've been looking for a dance video series to follow & feel fortunate that I've located you guys. Made to look simple. Can't wait to practice this with my dance partner very soon. Keep dancing.
@@DanceInsanity Ok we've only just started, the more we enjoy it the quicker we can move on. Up to Change of Places Behind the back, so far so good. We only get to practice at the weekend. Expect to be completed by 26th Oct to the music also.
Very good. 😍😍😍😍😍 More beginner jive videos please! and how to make the jive not look hopping. I love both of you so much. wish I can take lessons from you in person.
+Luisame OKAY! That's a good question: One thing to pay attention to is to control the softening of the knee , through the controlled lowering of the foot. To make them smooth. Maybe we'll make a video on this? Will that help?
My favourite dance is Rumba. More rumba for beginners basic steps on music , after the step counting lesson. Your teaching is the best I saw on UA-cam and I have my eyes on you as a beginner yet 👀👀👀😊😊😊 and more muuusic...
Angi Angelica thanks! Great to have you learning with us. 😊 good ideas- Can you clarify "after the step counting lesson"? Do u mean how to count the steps? You've probably seen our Rumba beginner's top ten steps video? 🌈✨
great instructions and insightful tips...one of the best clear, crisp and easy to follow steps...keep up the excellent work!!! Love your enthusiasm and energy
Hi Liwen and Tytus! Thanks so much and really enjoy your teaching and dancing! Could you please also teach something about the movement of the arms? Sometimes don't know where to put them...
I love doing ballet but i'm just intrested in a little "older" dance styles. Just anything that isn't like people dance on party's (more like a drunk snake trying to stand on it's tail) 🤗😂
@Anna P There are a lot of popular music that can be used for either ballroom/ latin dancing or just "jumping up and down" type fun dancing! ;) haha. Back to your shoe question - quick answer for ladies: Latin Sandals (with straps) are best for all latin dances/ club dances. Standard dances use closed toe shoes - some have a cross strap for extra support. :))
this is a great video! you guys are hilarious and i LOVE LOVE LOVE that you break it down by leader/follower with the view from behind. makes it so much easier!! 🙌🙌🙌
@@DanceInsanity I was there for a Christmas ball in our Church and saw my friends doing the jive and it looked sooo damn cool and I reallyy wanted to know how to dance like them and watching your video really helped me learn the footwork and i practise it almost everyday, it's all thanks to your video, you know..!!!😍😍😍❤❤❤
@@jenniferxavier3726 It only gets better. You got this. Just keep having fun!! ;) we have some slow jives here you can practice to - check out this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLsyf2ALTZkhfeQThG9qjvABFrTWanzQpW.html
Man, I remember crying and begging my mom to join the dance sports competition but due to my heart condition, I can't dance which made me cry a lot. But now, I'm getting better and can dance and now I'm learning here!!❤️
Dance Insanity Absolutely! I am taking two dance classes a week. I take Social Ballroom class, moving to level 2 in a week. I'm also taking a Latin training class. And tomorrow I am going to a Latin technique class. I love dancing!
Could you choreograph a routine to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen? I've been asked to participate in a local "Dancing with Our Stars" fundraiser, and I love that this song starts slow and then is so up-tempo. My "celebrity" partner (a local veterinarian) is 69 and he could easily dance me (aged 55) into the floor! I'm worried this may be a little too fast for us (for me, at least), but if you think this song would be workable, I think it would be awesome. If it's too fast for "old folks" like us, perhaps a routine to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - also by Queen - would work. Or if you already have some recorded jive routines in the 2-3 minute range that you'd recommend, please point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Hello @Lori Great song choices! So far on our channel, we have the jive routine from this video, as well as another short one here: ua-cam.com/video/InTwuazbbzo/v-deo.html You can try to piece them together to fit the music. If you want a piece fully choreographed to your song choice with accents and hits that match the music, message us at hello@danceinsanity.com We provide show choreography services, and can also edit/ slow down your song for you! :) Cheers!
@@WAS-xg2eu just figure out who's always right and let them start with the right foot😂 usually the shorter person plays the woman's part in same sex dancing partners
I think, after fallaway throwaway is Hip Bump then after walks is Mooch. Kindly review the list of basics at the time when it adds the music. Thanks! It is a great lesson.
If it weren't for you guys, I'll probably not be able to execute our ballroom requisities in pe this online class. Your dance tutorials are the best!! You made things look easier and fun ♡♡
@@DanceInsanity we had to do Cha-Cha, Rumba, Samba & Jive. Our instructor just linked several video tutorials per dance and your videos are what I mostly (probably the only ones haha) I watch and follow!! oh and yes, I'll surely continue to dance, I actually enjoyed doing the Chachacha and Jive.
What is the music you use for your video. We are children of the 60s (now in our 80s and 70s) and had forgotten how to jive but find your tempo easy to practice to. We love your video by the way - so professional!
Hi Anne, glad you loved the video! The song is "Pretty Woman" but it's royalty free so you may not find it. Try this song electric love, it's a nice slow tempo - ua-cam.com/video/-wiBRhX_QTU/v-deo.html
Hi LiWen and Tytus! Thank you so much for your videos they're very fun and helpful! Just one question, when you are teaching the change of hands behind the back, you said that the follower should do the 3&4 spinning left and then the 5&6 also continuing to spin left but when you demonstrate it as a pair LiWen seems to be turning the 3&4 to the left and then the 5&6 to the right. Are they both correct? Thank you! ❤
Good video (goes without saying...). Wanted to ask for clarity. When you said that the technique for the knees was soft (time: 5:03-5:05), this does appear different than what is seen in competition at advanced levels, where the knees are raised close to top thigh level. I see the advanced competitions do the soft knee technique, but also the raised knee technique also. So am I correct that this difference is due to the technique level (beginner to advanced, ie: Micheal Wentink) of the Jive dance? - or is it solely dependent on the figure they are dancing like flicks and kicks?
Eglis Smargis, a respected ballroom dance teacher, had recognized these differences in jive technique and I can tell you this - Eglis says that when you are doing a hard knee technique - or raised technique, he calls this "Jumping Jive Style" ; but if it is a soft knee technique, he calls it "Swinging Jive Style." So "Jumping Jive" will have much more flicks and kicks that are high-based than that of the soft technique.
Wait a sec.... Are you telling me that Jive is basically triple ECS but beginning on a rock step? I always pictured more swing content in my imagination. Crazy!
@Alex Van Tol - yes jive basic here is similar to ECS triple step basic. Just that ECS starts with the side triple steps/ chasses on 1. In Jive, we start with the rock step on 1. Do you do both styles? :)
Dance Insanity I’m trying to learn jive. But I must say I learned ECS by doing the rock step first, though I’ve since learned you can start with either, and that it’s the speed and execution of the steps that differentiate swing from jive. Is that true? Thank you :)
Dance Insanity I think I really love the energy it uses. It’s very high energy, even just doing the basic for long enough, but I get as much energy back from it as I give so I really enjoy that.

Could you choreograph a routine to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen? I've been asked to participate in a local "Dancing with Our Stars" fundraiser, and I love that this song starts slow and then is so up-tempo. My "celebrity" partner (a local veterinarian) is 69 and he could easily dance me (aged 55) into the floor! I'm worried this may be a little too fast for us (for me, at least), but if you think this song would be workable, I think it would be awesome. If it's too fast for "old folks" like us, perhaps a routine to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - also by Queen - would work. Or if you already have some recorded jive routines in the 2-3 minute range that you'd recommend, please point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Hello @Lori Great song choices! So far on our channel, we have the jive routine from this video, as well as another short one here: ua-cam.com/video/InTwuazbbzo/v-deo.html You can try to piece them together to fit the music.

Wanted to ask for clarity. When you said that the technique for the knees was soft (time: 5:03-5:05), this does appear different than what is seen in competition at advanced levels, where the knees are raised close to top thigh level. I see the advanced competitions do the soft knee technique, but also the raised knee technique also.
So am I correct that this difference is due to the technique level (beginner to advanced, ie: Micheal Wentink) of the Jive dance? - or is it solely dependent on the figure they are dancing like flicks and kicks?
Eglis Smargis, a respected ballroom dance teacher, had recognized these differences in jive technique and I can tell you this - Eglis says that when you are doing a hard knee technique - or raised technique, he calls this "Jumping Jive Style" ; but if it is a soft knee technique, he calls it "Swinging Jive Style."

Wait a sec.... Are you telling me that Jive is basically triple ECS but beginning on a rock step? I always pictured more swing content in my imagination. Crazy!
Yup! @Heather, crazy right! Do u dance ECS?
@@DanceInsanity Mostly WCS here, but I dabble. :) Great video!

What is the title of the music?
@Ishang Zamora Song we danced to is called "Woman Lover" :)
what's the name of the background song?
Does anyone know the correct BPM for this dance? All of the rock and roll songs I use are too fast!
OK!!!
Glad you like it 🙌🏼
cool!
mucho K!
What'a the title of the song?
the song is "Pretty Woman Lover" by Joe Exotic :))
How are you supposed to bounce/jump when you're dancing barefoot?
This seems very similar to east coast swing.
yup. it is very similar. :)
The basic is the same as the basic for east coast swing, what?
@Alex Van Tol - yes jive basic here is similar to ECS triple step basic. Just that ECS starts with the side triple steps/ chasses on 1. In Jive, we start with the rock step on 1. Do you do both styles? :)
Dance Insanity I’m trying to learn jive. But I must say I learned ECS by doing the rock step first, though I’ve since learned you can start with either, and that it’s the speed and execution of the steps that differentiate swing from jive. Is that true? Thank you :)
@Alex Van Tol super right on!
What do u like about jive so far?? 😊
Dance Insanity I think I really love the energy it uses. It’s very high energy, even just doing the basic for long enough, but I get as much energy back from it as I give so I really enjoy that.
Dance Insanity but I have to ask because I’m curious, what is your favorite dance style?
Can that man put some colth on?
I can do that dance my freind told me that. I guess know i know why i always win in dance battle 🤔
Very good!!
