| | The History of Modern Jive |
 | | The origins of jive start back in the 1920's and 30's in the dance clubs of black America, the sounds of jazz led on to Big Band Swing, perfecting the dances such as Lindyhop and the Jitterbug. | | | In the UK it surfaced in the Rock and Roll years, having been adapted to fit the new style of music. | | | Over the years the dance has been adapted to fit music trends, and broken down into a basic format making it suitable for the masses. |

| | Ceroc / LeRoc / Modern Jive / French Jive |
| | Another "national" style of jive was the French family of dances that also derived from the "dance instruction" American GI's left behind after World War Two. | | | They did so through three London clubs Ceroc (short for C'est le roc), Le Roc and Cosmopolitan Jive. | | | While in Britain 'the swinging sixties' lifestyle pushed jive into the background, the French kept on partner dancing, adapting it to suit new sounds, which gave it a distinct look. |
