The basic Boogie-Woogie rules are spelled out by the WRRC .
Boogie-Woogie is a couple dance and is generally performed in a slot.
The basic step is an elastic, powerful step, but danced rather flat (not jumped). It’s a six-count step, mostly danced as a “triple step – triple step – step – step” structure.
To visually increase the speed the two steps, “step – step,” they are often danced in a forward leaning manner, instead of a rock step.
Boogie music is fundamental to the dance.
Couples typically choose and interpret their own music.
The musical interpretation and dancing done by couples shall appear to be spontaneous.
A dominate lack of spontaneous interpretation in Boogie-Woogie dancing is not desirable.
All elements of the dance shall be lead. Choreographed parts and long open elements are not allowed.
Acrobatics (air steps) shall be completely within the flow of music, and are judged as dance figures.
Competition music for the fast round is between 192 – 208 beats/minute, and 112 – 128 beats/minute for the finals only slow round.
