Boogie-woogie in competition is a led, partnered dance, not choreographed. It falls under the umbrella of swing dance, but is distinct from
Lindy Hop. It follows a six-beat
dance pattern, usually
cued as "step-step, triple step, triple step", each word taking one beat but the second syllable of "triple" delayed to match the music's syncopation. In some parts of Europe, boogie-woogie is mostly done as a
social dance, while, in others, it is mostly a
competition form. The competitions are regulated by the
World Rock'n'Roll Confederation. The competition forms of boogie woogie consist of main and junior classes. ==References==
