IDTA Associate Theory - JIVE.txt

  1. Jive Time Signature
    4/4 = 4 beats of 1/4 note (crochet) value to the bar
  2. Jive Tempo
    44 bars/minute or 176 beats/minute
  3. Jive Rhythm
    There is a predominant percussive accent on the 2nd and 4th beat of the bar
  4. Jive Timing and Beat Values
    Timed at QaQ (sometimes counted 3a4)

    Two constructions

    • 1.1/2 Bar Construction: QQ QaQ QaQ
    • (the most fundamental construction)
    • Step Q - 1 beat
    • Step Q - 1 beat
    • Chasse QaQ - 3/4, 1/4, 1 beat
    • Chasse QaQ - 3/4, 1/4, 1 beat

    • 1 Bar Construction: QQ QaQ
    • Step Q - 1 beat
    • Step Q - 1 beat
    • Chasse QaQ - 3/4, 1/4, 1 beat
  5. Jive Rhythmic Interpretations
    Alternative interpretations from Lindy Hop and Rock n Roll can also be used

    • Single Step: S replaces chasse QaQ
    • Step Tap: QQ replaces chasse QaQ

    • 6Qs: used in the 1.1/2 bar construction
    • Man (Lady normally opposite)
    • 1 - LF back(Q - can be in place)
    • 2 - RF in place (Q)
    • 3 - LF closed to RF (Q)
    • 4 - RF kick (Q)
    • 5 - RF closed to LF (Q)
    • 6 - LF kick (Q)

    • Alternatively: the 6Qs can be danced with the kick on the 1st & 3rd beats in the bar
    • Man (Lady normally opposite)
    • 1 - LF back(Q - can be in place)
    • 2 - RF in place (Q)
    • 3 - LF Kick (Q)
    • 4 - LF closed to RF (Q)
    • 5 - RF Kick (Q)
    • 6 - RF closed to LF (Q)
  6. Jive Rock
    • the leg action: during the two steps (QQ) used to commence most figures
    • Step 1: taken back, leg straightened but not locked as heel is lowered, knee of leg without weight is slightly flexed
    • Step 2: weight transferred onto the forward foot in place and the leg straightened but not locked
  7. Jive Chasses
    • A group of three steps
    • Can taken in any direction, with or without turn
    • Can be either LRL or RLF
    • Weight is felt mainly over the balls of the feet
    • Hips are kept free throughout the dance, and there is a slight bounce action used during chasses

    • Step 1: is taken in appropriate direction on ball of foot,
    • knee is compressed hips do not move
    • timing is Q, 3/4 beat

    • Step 2: is half closed to to stationary foot on the ball of the foot
    • both knees compressed, hips starting to move
    • timing is a, 1/4 beat
    • (note - the heel may be close to or even touch the floor on steps 1 and 2)

    • Step 3: is taken ball flat
    • knee straightens and hip completes the move
    • Timing is Q, 1 beat
    • when a substantial amount of turn is made on this step, footwork used will be ball, e.g American Spin (see charts)

    The amount of turn in the chasse depends on the figure being danced.
