  • De hand jive is een dans die ontstaan is in de jaren vijftig, vooral gebruikt bij rock-'n-roll en rhythm and blues. De dans wordt met twee personen gedaan, die tegenover elkaar staan. Er worden verschillende handgebaren en klappen gedaan op elkaars handen en lichaam. Het doel van de dans is het imiteren van slaginstrumenten. De hand jive werd in het leven geroepen door Johnny Otis. Hij bracht in 1958 een nummer uit genaamd Willie and the Hand Jive. Eric Clapton maakte hier een remake van in 1974 die de top 40 behaalde. De dans werd ook gebruikt in de film Grease, in het nummer van Sha Na Na. (nl)

  • The hand jive is a dance particularly associated with music of the 1950s, rhythm and blues in particular. It involves a complicated pattern of hand moves and claps at various parts of the body, following and/or imitating the percussion instruments. It resembles a highly elaborate version of pat-a-cake. Hand moves include thigh slapping, crossing the wrists, fist pounding, hand clapping, and hitch hike moves. In 1957 when filmmaker Ken Russell was a freelance photographer, he recorded the teenagers of Soho, London hand-jiving in the basement of The Cat's Whisker coffee bar, where the hand-jive was invented by Leon Bell of Leon Bell and the Bell Cats. According to an article in the Daily Mirror, "it's so crowded the girls hand-jive to the band as there's no room for dancing." Russell told interviewer Leo Benedictus of The Guardian that "the place was crowded with young kids... the atmosphere was very jolly. Wholesome... everyone jiving with their hands because there was precious little room to do it with their feet... a bizarre sight. The craze fascinated me. It seemed like a strange novelty; I used to join in." (en)
