Etymology
The term 'boogie' in the context of dance is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, possibly derived from African American vernacular. Initially, it was a synonym for a style of jazz music characterized by a fast tempo and lively rhythm. In the 1970s, bougie (or boogie) became associated with the disco era, which saw the rise of dance clubs where people would engage in energetic, free-spirited dance movements. Its roots can be traced back to blues and boogie woogie music genres, where the infectious rhythm encouraged spontaneous dance. Over the decades, the word evolved to encompass a wider variety of dance styles, but it has retained its connotation of fun and exuberance.
