 Cajun Jitterbug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cajun Jitterbug, or Cajun Two Step, is a style of Cajun dancing with two variations.
The main one is a classic two-step form of a six-count East Coast Swing, which is differentiated from the one-step Cajun Jig.
All Cajun dance moves are initiated from one of two basic positions: the open-handed position and the cross-handed position.

 Evangeline: The Web Site   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Up until the turn of the twentieth century, most dancing among Cajuns was done at bals de maison, or "house dances." A family invited their friends and relatives over for a Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon, engaged whatever musicians were in the area, and prepared food and drink, which their guests supplemented.
The Cajuns took this prohibition to refer to instrumental music only, and the dances continued to be held with the dancing accompanied only by one or more persons singing and the spectators tapping their toes.
As today's Cajun cooking incorporates elements from the cuisines of many other cultures and is a far cry from the bland dishes eaten by their cousins who were left behind in Acadie, so Cajun dance will continue to evolve, probably getting spicier and spicier.
