Watching Modern Jive, is like a fusion of Salsa, Jive and Swing, it is commonly danced to any four-beat rhythm…

…which means that the musical options are extremely diverse. In any one freestyle session, the music played may include chart songs, classics, or something with a Latin twist. The songs can range from slow to quick and lively. The basic step remains the same, allowing for the moves to be stylised to suit the music choice.
