Jitterbug. A 1940s dance form where a male and female dancer perform a series of moves not unlike the 1950s rock and roll dancing. The skill and strength required to throw the female dancer about was considered too much for mainstream dancing couples though. The jitterbug evolved into the rock and roll style dancing seen in the 1950s and 1960s. Also known in later years as the Jitterbug Boogie.
