Basic Jive Exercises - Swing and Jumping Style

[@aminjeanbredimus7157]

Just came from a bootcamp last week where they showed these different styles and was especially overwhelmed with the body movements in that Swing style with Sugar Push etc. Glad to have some basics in here to get me started.

[@DuyTran-xo5vu]

Thank you for the detailed explanations. You make it really easy to follow.

[@blossomdavid1535]

Wow! I was surfing through different videos ..so far this is one of the best tutorials..just loved it

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thank you David, you’re very welcome!

[@brianmcd9492]

Lovely jiving. 2 of the moves were like " Kicking of my shoes" and "Tip-toeing on hot coals" forward and backward and to the side🙂 I'll practice later these jives👍

[@chutaratpookpanich3184]

+TERESA LAMURA thanks

[@Nailgunskater]

Its taken me a little while to get used to your teaching style, especially in other advanced videos, but Wow your videos are good. Thanks for all you posts and I will keep looking at others. , We are working on Samba and loved your video on that, looking at this Jive video to spruce up our Swing a little, and may check out Leg Exercises in Latin, etc. We do take dance lessons and your videos are a nice supplement to them. Thanks again.

[@EgilsSmagris]

+Nailgunskater thanks for feedback, I'm happy to hear you find our videos useful in addition to your dance lessons 👍

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks for appreciating this video!

[@saraswatkin9226]

We all need our life back to go dancing.

[@EgilsSmagris]

Totally agree. Now we know how much we need dancing and comunication.

[@JoseTorres-um8nk]

It took me an hour to untie my legs at least I can now make pretzels, you are so awesome!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks Jose! Enjoy Jive 👍

[@kayltube600]

Very useful tutorial for my PE 🤗🤗

Thanks 임금보리

[@teresalamura5382]

ok graxie x avermi risposto, e vi seguiro sempre .

[@KL-kh6gl]

Wow...

[@peterbeyer5755]

I think Egils may have discovered the solution to the obesity epidemic - dancing the jive. I'm sure after practicing the routines I will lose kilos, be much fitter and have fun. Thank you again for a fantastic video.

[@EgilsSmagris]

+Peter Beyer thanks 👍I agree that Jive definitely fits in healthy and active lifestyle. You can loose kilos and at same time have fun 😃

[@shartrezlittle8952]

great.absolutely great...this is what i need

[@richlomakin]

What you call "Rock Step" is actually a "Link Step". Good presentation overall. I suppose it depends if you are in England or the USA. Lol!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Laird describes these two steps as “Rock”. But for me “Link step” sounds good too.

[@richlomakin]

@@EgilsSmagris Walter Laird is certainly the master in dancing.

[@Ella-jp7jc]

Thank you so much.

[@jasmineksa8652]

رائع جدا Fantastic i will learn this thanks Give more

[@EgilsSmagris]

+Jasmine Ksa enjoy jive and thanks for appreciating our video

[@charlessmith263]

Well, a shock - in the "jumping jive" - when you do the flick-ball-change, the NDCA (National Dance Council of America) calls these things "hitch kicks". Still effective especially if you dance the jive in a dancesport heat. Still working hard still on those jive flicks currently - never easy to do.

[@EgilsSmagris]

Hi Charles, glad you find Jive video helpful! 👍

[@charlessmith263]

I learned that to get the flicks good, I need to do a lot of ankle-stretching exercises. This will allow me to point the front part of the foot directly at the ground when that foot is off the floor at the height of those "flicks."

[@regularguy7561]

Awesome!

[@smile75946]

Very useful!! Thankful this video!

[@EgilsSmagris]

+유림 wellcome

[@francischu3460]

What a fantastic teacher👍

[@viewer087]

For the kickball change, I wondered how it can fit into a routine. If I was to use it as part of the basic move (rock-step - chasse left - chasse right) where would it fit in? By the video it appears that the kickball change replaces one or both chasses?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks for question, kick ball change replaces rock. I didn't show as exercise, but in routine we use kick-step and that can replace Chasse.

[@viewer087]

+Egils Smagris Thanks, and this spurs another question, if you don't mind, the kick ball change replacing the rock step, is that the only use for it? Same question for the kick step for the chasse, does it only fit in place of the chasse?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Kick Ball Change fits a) Rock step, b) any two Quick steps (for example Chicken Walks in jumping style can be danced as Kick Ball Change). Kick Step fits a) Chasse (triple step) b) Step Tap and Tap Step (double step) c) Slow Step (single step)

[@viewer087]

+Egils Smagris Fantastic, much appreicated as this information cannot be found anywhere and I looked believe me. Love these tutorials and support Egils!! I have already recommended these videos to other dancers. And the kick step, is that restricted to just the Chasse steps?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Kick Step can replace a) Chasse (triple step) b) Step Tap and Tap Step (double step) c) Slow Step (single step)

[@zafreenyelshakairan4977]

[@Queenishtar777]

Thanks you !X

[@AleksIngame]

What style is actually more common in competitions? Like if you wana lern jive at a competition level, what style should you pick? The one that feels best or just practice both? Awesome videos by the way :)

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks for your question. As competitor one must definitely master both Jive styles- swing and jumping. Usually competitors mix styles to get more exciting performance. Hope it helps!

[@AleksIngame]

yes thank you a lot :) we just started latin competition dancing, so a lot of work is comming for us and thx for the fast answer
