Parallel with the musical genre Rock n Roll; Rock n Roll Dancing was developed.
With Rock n Roll music coming into fashion around 1955, the protest driven youth movement converted the Boogie Woogie (a fast-paced partner dance featuring lifts and acrobatic elements) to the even sportier Rock n Roll dance. The most obvious feature of Rock n Roll Dancing is its kicks and acrobatic elements like lifts, jumps, throws and flips. Today's Rock n Roll is a mere show and competition dance and - with the exception of its name - has nearly nothing in common with the former Rock n Roll movement. Rock n Roll timing is on the 4/4 measure and may be danced in pairs or as formation dancing. Because of its amazing technique, high speed and acrobatics; Rock n Roll is continually increasing in popularity.
