		CFMA is correct in that the Cajun jitterbug is a relative newcomer to Cajun culture.
		CFMA's position on this is vulnerable to criticism since, if one examines the history of Cajun dance, it becomes apparent that dance forms have been regularly, if not frequently, transformed, added, and dropped and that any attempt to define a "traditional" Cajun dance form requires a dubious assertion of preeminence for a particular time period.
		The Cajun two-step was added later, probably imported from Texas during the Texas swing era in the early twentieth century." I have heard conflicting things over the years as to the authenticity of Cajun Jitterbug, but nothing as concrete as this.

		Thus we have the band Balfa Toujours -- whose leader Christine Balfa is the daughter of Dewey Balfa, one of the leaders of the Cajun revival of the Sixties -- recording with Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin, one of the godfathers of zydeco, and with Geno Delafose, one of the new generation of funk-influenced zydeco.
		She and her husband Dirk Powell are the nucleus of Balfa Toujours, which turns in a fine Cajun waltz, "Restez, mom et pop, Restez." They also back 82-year-old Bois Sec Ardoin on the old-time zydeco number "Allons Danser," an endearing and energetic two-step.
