Boogie Woogie was music and a dance that started way back before WWII but became popular during WWII with the jazz age and big band era. Rock 'n Roll came from Boogie-Woogie.

When you dance Boogie Woogie you dance like the old Rock ' Roll; holding one hand and jiving around.

Boogie Woogie grew up in America and Europe in the 1950s as Rock n' Roll replaced swing and big band on the radio and in nightclubs. Similar to Jive, Boogie Woogie is a swing variant that incorporates a lot of hopping movements as well as kicks forward, almost like chorus line kicks.

You can do the research, BUT...in the end it comes down to fun. It is just fun lively music or dance. Have fun with it. It has also been tied to a particular style of rhythm called a walking bass line. Again...it's fun.
