[edit] Translated from German article
I have translated this article from the German wikipedia. If you feel I have made mistakes feel free to correct them. If you wish to insert missing translations of acrobatic movements or stuff, you are well invited to contact me for reassurance: de:Benutzer Diskussion:Thetawave. I know what all of these acrobatics look like and how they work, but I simply don't know their English names. User:217.185.78.252/de:Benutzer Diskussion:Thetawave 20:43, 13 August 2005 217.185.78.252
[edit] Acrobatic rock and roll vs Jive
This sounds more like a discussion of acrobatic rock and roll, which is common in Europe. Rock and roll is danced socially in Australia and New Zealand, is often referred to as Jive (dance) in the United Kingdom and is more popular in Australia than lindy hop. -- PlainJane 00:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
In the UK we have a social form of Rock 'n' Roll dancing, similar to that danced clubs in London in the 1950's, as well as the acrobatic Rock 'n' Roll (sometimes referred to here as continental style) and Jive (dance) which is part of the Latin section of Ballroom dancing.

[edit] Bad English needs lots more editing
I began to improve the English on this page -- but it was too much for me. It needs a lot of rewriting. 83.221.82.109 —Preceding comment was added at 15:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] we should have a disambig...
What about the swing-like dancing that was danced by American teenagers to rock and roll music in the 1950s? This seems entirely different from this article but I'm not sure what you would call it besides rock and roll... 68.160.11.155 (talk) 05:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
