In the mid 1930's, a BOUNCY AND CHEERFUL

DANCE was named the Jitterbug by the band leader

Cab Calloway when he introduced a song in

1934 called "JITTERBUG." The Jitterbug CONSISTED of a few standardized

steps of TWIRLS, splits, somersaults, and it

also had DIFFICULT LIFTS, when the male partner

would lift up the female partner and swing

them around on their backs.
