One is called Swing Jive and is better suited to a slower tempo that what is being played.It has a beat value of 1/2 1/2 1. played at 32-36 bars per minute. Jive is played at 42-44 and has a beat value of 40-44 (can be faster) Jive has a more pumping action. Swing more swinging from side to side. The only cominality between the two is they are based on two elements a Rock Step and a Chasse. after that the style, music, character are different. A trained competition dancer at a Social where the music might be played as low as 28 bars per minute would go to a type of Swing Jive. If the music is played at about 40 bpm. There off. Any arguments see Hazel Fletcher.
