Jive hits

In the boogie - or swing family is the difference in the basic step and the pace. There are overlaps. It's not an exact science. The swung (sweep, buoyancy), atmosphere and arrangements define the dance.
According to increasing pace:
Popcorn <140 (slow disco)
Hustle 105-122 (can therefore on Disco)
Disco (boogie) 116-120
Lindy hop 120-184 (slow jive)
Jive 160-176 (fast jive is often an appropriate quickstep)
(Cafe) boogie 176-220
West Coast Swing 112-113
