Boogie-woogie is a fast-paced dance known for its spectacular footwork and high energy. It originated from blues music played on the piano and follows a repetitive "shuffle" rhythm. The basic step pattern is step back, step-point-step, point-step in 4/4 time. Dancers can add variations like turns, slides, and bounces. To learn, practice the steps alone first then with a partner, starting with both hands held and progressing to one hand hold with the leader's left hand holding the follower's right.
