I have a question, whats the difference between the lindy hop and the jitterbug. To me there both just a sped up Charleston with diferent steps.

Youtube search "fast swing dancing" and that's real lindy hop, done by people who have made it their passion, there obsession, and in some cases their profession. Lindy hop often utilizes Charleston. It just depends on what the dancing couple hears in the song and what's lead by the lead. Faster stuff breeds charleston because it compliments fast songs with that driving heavy beat.

Lindy hop and jitterbug are the same dance, just two different names on it. And Charleston was an influence on that dance, and is sometimes incorporated into Lindy hop without any problems.

"They might out dance us, but they won't out work us." Now that's a great work ethic and even better attitude. Gotta love that cowboy!!

Looks like the producers were having some technical difficulties there...anyone else notice that Steve and Karina's intro started playing during the rehearsal footage??

@Bridgettefan231

Aren't the steps kind of the difference?
