Max Perry told us that, socially it
has been a term used by African Americans describing a white person's lack of
rhythm when they dance. The actual dance step is a jump or "Jazz Jump" (2 footed
jump). In the Cha-cha Slide, the jumps can be forward and back, or from left to
right while nodding your head, or turning your head from side to
side
