Cajun Jitterbug
From Free net encyclopedia
The term Cajun Jitterbug has multiple uses: Some people use the term for Cajun One Step. Other people consider it as kind of Jitterbug.
CAJUN JITTERBUG IS ACTUALLY A COMBINATION OF 2 STYLES OF swing dance. THE MOST COMMON HALF BEING SIMPLY THE CAJUN STYLE OF EAST COAST SWING. AND THE SECOND HALF MAKES IT GENUINELY CAJUN, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED "THE LAKE CHARLES SLIDE," SOMETIMES CALLED "THE COWBOY JITTERBUG" BECAUSE PEOPLE OFTEN SAW "THOSE COWBOYS" DANCING IT, AND MOST RECENTLY IT'S BEEN GIVEN THE NAME "WHISKEY RIVER JITTERBUG" FOR THE POPULAR DANCE HALL IN HENDERSON LOUISIANA, ANGELLES WHISKEY RIVER LANDING. QUITE OFTEN I'VE HEARD CAJUN REFER TO IT AS "THAT DANCE" NOT EVEN KNOWING OF A SPECIFIC NAME FOR IT. IN LOUISIANA, THEY JUST DANCE, AND DON'T CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH NAMING IT.
