Boogie-woogie is a fast energetic dance with acrobatic elements. Usually performed in a pair with rhythmic jazz music. The name of the dance comes from the cognominal music style.
The first boogie-woogie competition took place in Russia in 1994. Since then, championships for the title of the best pair are held regularly in our country. The competition program in all cases includes acrobatic figures and supports, the performance of which requires athletes’ physical well-being.
