LeRoc

LeRoc is a form of Modern Jive, the generic dance style that derived in the 1980s from dances including Swing, Lindy Hop and Rock and Roll, the main innovation being to simlify the footwork.

According to the particular teacher, it may incorporate elements of other dance styles including Salsa and Tango.

Unlike franchisedd variations of Modern Jive such as Ceroc and Le Jive, LeRoc is not a commercial business but a non-profit making federation of independent dance teachers, set up in 1991 - "The LeRoc French Jive Federation"

As implied by the title of the Federation, the dance style came from France, where Swing / Rock and Roll dancing had not been so surpressed by the onslaught of Disco. Le Roc is French for The Rock (and Roll).
