This dance was originally choreographed for our dance team as a partner dance to go with Neil Hale's Cowboy Hand Jive, thus the title, No Jive. To do it that way, do two patterns of Cowboy Hand Jive and one of No Jive. It will stand perfectly well on its own or as a Contra Line dance.

REPEAT
For contra line dance, start in single line with dancers alternating facing front and back. You will cross lines on 13-16 and back again on 21-24. You should end in single line on 32. You will still be alternating front and back but each dancer is facing the opposite direction they did in first pattern when they do the second pattern. On third pattern they will be facing original direction.
