It's 2007, and being born in 1969, I started jittin' in the late 1970's. My pops was born in the mid 1940's, and he knows how to jitt...with a partner! Wherever there are African people, there are variations of expression through dance. It really isn't important who started what, although, those who know, know! What's up is: The good footworkers don't look much different than the bad ones... It all looks the same; with limited, or no upper body movement!!!
when I was a just a youngN my cousin use to battle all the time R.I.P too my Og my grandma Dean she'll scream up stairs quit all that rumbling and bumping up stairs lols
I love detroit jit. That dance is more fun than footworking. Yeah woo!. Keep going. Thechosenone holly. One of thechicagoans that respect youll and your culture of dance. I love it. Keep it up.
The fiest time I saw someone doing the jit or the jitterbug....this was in 1978 or so...there was a guy on my street called Peanut...he was probably about 16 at the time... it was Easter and he was in his Sundays best down to his Stacy Adams.....he was standing on the sidewalk and Flashlight came on.....and he started to go....it was automatic for him ......effortless....a burst of energy....that came from within....
this beat has more soul in it then you'll ever know. This beat is a famous detroit techno track, knights of the jaguar(1999) . look it up - see what the world thinks of this "garbage." This beat was so damn popular that Sony music made a bootleg version of it to try and tap into its popularity.
Does anyone know exactly where this mix of the song attached to this video comes from? I absolutely love it. I know it's mystic aztec, knights of the jaguar but I was wondering if this version had a specific source. Incredible!!
It seems like the reason for my confusion is that the song on the video is no longer knights of the jaguar? it is BABA by Jeremy Black? Anyway love both of the songs
WOW! I really didn't know it was that serious between Detroit and Chicago! I actually like both and I'm from Florida, but I'm wit nlh313 u can't really compare the two styles, but props to both cuz yall doin better than what we got in Florida!
im from Detroit too, my screenname is moccdv313 and Chicago has been stealin our dance trying to make it different so that people wouldn't think that they was copying us but they was holla to all my D-town niggas and wiggas(white niggas). PEACE!
thanks for the love, but they are really different, jit focuses on patterns and shuffles in the footwork, based on counts. there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of different shuffles
the crazy thing about when I first saw sturdy, I was like it's almost like a backwards sequence uprock, on some b boy shit. But it's to 2 step or british type beats which i been listening to for years!
nontype, the name of this song is Knights of the Jaguar, you can find it on youtube, there are a lot of remixes out there, this one is a little speed up of course
does anyone know where i can find this version of Jaguar this is the coldest version i have heard always would hear this shit in the club back in the day when i us to JIT i would go ham on this shit so cold
Tyesha Brown: Coz' the D knows how to do it, thats why young lady!?!? The fuckin' Mitten, not the Chi. Yer head cloudy? The Mitten, NOT the Chi! They call it "the kankle" down there dont they?
if you go to enough shows in chicago you might notice we footwork to more than just the trax we normally dance to the only thing that might be diffrent is the pace that we are moving the feet with the track. and our music came from ghetto house music that people used to footwork to and even so before that believe it or not steppers music, like me personally i can footwork to any beat....and music wise...technically most ppl dont like our music idk fa sho bcuz nothing has been released with it.
damb i love my city no matter what people say bout us thay still bit our swagg motown for life gratiot forever 7 mile ryan for ever oh boy we ant playin no games .
I can tell u been doin that for awhile... that would explain the techno music and not something of date since the invention of HIP HOP. Antiquated style to say the least. Ciaos
I think it’s a youtube anti copyright replacement, only other place I could find the current song is on a korean lipsync video. there is a similar thing with the intro to this old siskel and ebert show: th-cam.com/video/XyD5VDQGslQ/w-d-xo.html

does anyone know where i can find this version of Jaguar this is the coldest version i have heard always would hear this shit in the club back in the day when i us to JIT i would go ham on this shit so cold
because, Knights of the Jaguar is an electro track (130ish bpm) jitt music is around 160 bpm
Dude in the orange shirt and black shorts has a lot of classic Jit moves
Hey what is this song? Don't think it's Jaguar, unless it's a remix.
Lol my mom said she was gone teach me dis I can't even keep up💯😂😂😂😂
Tyesha Brown: Coz' the D knows how to do it, thats why young lady!?!? The fuckin' Mitten, not the Chi. Yer head cloudy? The Mitten, NOT the Chi! They call it "the kankle" down there dont they?

Black River Dance LOL! Go Detroit!
Yo, who is the guy Jittin from 1:58?
who did this jaguar remix?!?! LIVEEE! respect to D-town!
the track that's playing is called knights of the jaguar.
but Minnesota does have their own version of footwork tracks but idk how far it will get
all i can say is that chicago cats is constantly improving on there footwork, we gotta step our game up detroit
jit started before 1976...where did you come up with that date?
what's the name of the song pls?
if you go to enough shows in chicago you might notice we footwork to more than just the trax we normally dance to the only thing that might be diffrent is the pace that we are moving the feet with the track. and our music came from ghetto house music that people used to footwork to and even so before that believe it or not steppers music, like me personally i can footwork to any beat....and music wise...technically most ppl dont like our music idk fa sho bcuz nothing has been released with it.
Does anyone know the name of this beat I really need this I been looking for this beat since I first heard it please help

oct 21st? what and where and when???
Puts the Melbourne Shuffle to shame, and I'm from Melbourne. Mad skillz.
whats the basic steps for jitting
What happend to the original beat?
Damn this is awesome. If you guys put some tap shoes on this would be dope
@FutureThought1 DJ Rolando - Jaguar it's on the Underground Resistance (UR) label. Detroit Techno!
Anyone happen to know the Track - ID? Thanks.
Where can i find jit music or jit mixtapes?
didnt house music come b4 techno? house music (from chi) derives from old disco beats much like breaking came from disco "breaks" in the record.
Represent The D..... Detroit
you see how everything is on beat .. crisp
Why they change the beat???
@tom2six4 i think it is just at 45 rpm?
It's considerably sped up from the original cut, FYI.
guy at the end was killing it
What is the name of this Hard-ass beat btw?
Some of the moves look a little like samba, I like it!
Who did this first cut?
anyone know exactly what song this is?
This dnt even look like Chicago footwurk so why compare us to this Jit dance
Tyesha Brown There are similarites tho
Hell yeah!!! Chicago Juke ain't got nothing on Detroit Jit!
Tyesha Brown I like the creativity of both!
I'm officially homesick.....
Im from Detroit and Im suprised i didnt find out about this until 2016
weird
me too
lol dude my uncles would play this to when they babysat us
Icy Sickles come on over to Versus _street_dance_film313 on instagram
do you want a cookie for being the first "nonblack guy" to footwork ????
@MrMallymal68 What's this track?
I can tell u been doin that for awhile... that would explain the techno music and not something of date since the invention of HIP HOP. Antiquated style to say the least. Ciaos
You changed the original song to this video! Bring back the old one. It fits way better
Actually Detroit's had the Jit since the 60's Chi's juke goes back only to the 80's
That's a Kraftwerk sample in the Detrechno song. But you are right it is not the original Kraftwerk song: "Boing Boom Tschak".
Yes indeed. Especially if you watch the Shangaan style of dance from S. Africa. Same tempo and same dance moves.
Help I need to know what song that is playing.
do people still Jit in Detroit?
what song is this??
You put your own flava to the dance...like BBQ...every city do it they way and this is how we do in the D!
What up doe?
Why the music got changed?
I think it’s a youtube anti copyright replacement, only other place I could find the current song is on a korean lipsync video.
there is a similar thing with the intro to this old siskel and ebert show:
th-cam.com/video/XyD5VDQGslQ/w-d-xo.html
The guy at 1:08 in the ALLEY LIFE shirt. Period.
this is what u call footwork? thats just dancing-
juke it baby
different strokes for different folks, i think the d got chicago beat! but i respect the chicago sound too.
Whats the name of this song?
johnnysoserious this is “jaguar” on Underground Resistance sped up to 45rpm
wath is name this song,please help
@jbowersj - UR cat is UR-2000, I believe. played at 45, of coarse.
