Jitterbug. A 1940s dance form where a male and female dancer perform a series of moves not unlike the 1950s
rock and roll dancing.
The skill and strength required to throw the female dancer about was
considered too much for mainstream dancing couples though.
The jitterbug evolved into the
rock and roll style dancing seen in the 1950s and 1960s.
Also known in later years as the Jitterbug Boogie.
