Information & Rules

WHAT IS JITTERBUG

Originally “Jitterbug(s) “ was the name given to  the young swing fans who just couldn’t keep still when listening to their favourite swing music in the 1930s.

However, within a short period the name “jitterbug” had been extended to cover not only the fans themselves but the dances which they danced.  Jitterbug, therefore, became a generic term for all the popular swing dances of the day: Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag etc.

The “JITTERBUG JAM” contest is in the spirit of this definition. Competitors can effectively dance however they like in response to the music, however, the judges will be looking for authenticity in their performance.
