The tradition
Bugg is a common dance style in Sweden and is very popular on the dance floors when dansbands play. Bugg is a dance in 44 time and performed at different paces (120–180 beats per minute). Bugg is a partner dance and follows certain basic rules, but is essentially improvised, with one partner following the other's lead. Acrobatic moves are not allowed on national or international dance competitions. Swedish bugg belongs to the swing dance family and closely resembles modern jive. Bugg is both a very popular social dance as well as a competitive dance in Sweden. It also has the most competitors and practitioners within the Swedish Dancesport Federation. A variant called double bugg is performed by one leader and two followers.¶
