QUOTE FROM wiki

This article is about the dance. For the 1993 album by John Scofield, see Hand Jive (album)

The Hand jive is a dance particularly associated with rock and roll and rhythm and blues music of the 1950s. It involves a complicated pattern of hand moves and claps at various parts of the body, following and/or imitating the percussion instruments. It resembles a highly elaborate version of Pat-a-cake. Hand moves include thigh slapping, cross-wrist slapping, fist pounding, chest slapping and pounding, hand clapping, elbow touching and hitch hike moves.

The hand jive was particularly popularized by Johnny Otis' 1958 hit "Willie and the Hand Jive". Eric Clapton did a version of the song in 1974 that reached the Top 40.[citation needed] It is also featured prominently in Grease, in which the song "Born to Hand Jive" is performed by Sha-Na-Na.
