Etymology

The term 'jitterbug' originated in the 1930s in the United States, particularly within the African American communities. It is believed to derive from the term 'jitter', which was slang for being nervous or twitchy, possibly referring to the lively and spontaneous nature of the dance. The association with 'bug' suggests a sense of excitement and energy. As the swing era progressed, jitterbugging evolved into a popular social dance, celebrated for its agility and flair, influencing other dance styles and becoming a staple in dance halls. Over time, the concept of a 'jitterbugger' emerged, designating those who excelled in this vibrant dance form.
