Boogie Woogie
The usual step variation is a six beat dance pattern, usually cued as “tri-ple step, tri-ple step, step, step”, with words “step” taking a whole beat and pieces “tri” and “ple” together taking one beat.
The name boogie-woogie is used mostly in Europe; the closest thing in the US is probably East Coast Swing. What today is called boogie-woogie would during the 1950s have been called rock’n’roll. The term boogie woogie is confusing; the dance can be danced to the music style called boogie-woogie but is most often danced to rock music of various kinds.
