THE MODERN JIVE SKILLS TOOLKIT

Beta

A toolkit of 85 skills to draw on for strong social and competition dancing. Some skills are more or less critical at different levels of experience. Not every skill needs to be used in every dance.

Why this framework exists

  1. Help Dancers focus their practice on specific, nameable skills, instead of vague "just get better" improvement.
  2. Help Teachers diagnose what a student needs next, and plan group or private lessons around specific, nameable skills.
  3. Help Judges describe what they're seeing with more precise, specific language.
Both roles
L Leader specific
Follower specific
