Washington, DC hand dance[edit]

There should be some mention of Washington DC's hand dancing (1950s onward), which is related to but distinct from hand jiving.

A "hand jive" is also used in wildland firefighting to pull long runs of hose around obstacles and terrain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.87.182.246 (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disco in the 50's? Give me a break! This whole article is in need of some serious revamping. 98.247.116.80 (talk) 09:50, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to do it[edit]

I'm aware that Wikipedia is not supposed to be an instruction manual; and it's obvious that the moves are a bit complicated. But they're not that complicated. We could say a bit more than just that they're complicated.

And maybe we could provide a link to an instruction manual, or similar?

This used to be an incredibly popular way of grooving to music, all the way into the late sixties; there's no mention of the fact that the hand jive was frequently performed by 'dancers' who were seated - such as the panelists on Juke Box Jury.

So I think this article is a bit thin - perhaps even a stub. MrDemeanour (talk) 17:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
