Where did the dance called the Whiskey River Jitterbug, come from? No one called the dancing that became known as WRJ until a dance teacher from the area began to teach it and needed to settle on a name for it in 2003. When the dance began to be seen at Angelle’s Whiskey River Landing, no one referred to it by a name — they just danced it. Some people around the border of West Louisiana and East Texas referred to it as the “Lake Charles Slide” or “Lake Charles Shuffle” — or just the “Shuffle.” Also a talented dancer had been teaching the dance in the Baton Rouge and Gonzalez area for years before; he had grown up on the Texas Louisiana border. This instructor did not call it the Whiskey River Jitterbug. A dance instructor from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, who learned the dance at Angelle’s setteled on the name, WRJ, after promoting it earlier as the “Cajun Cowboy Jitterbug.” It was at Angelle’s Whiskey River Landing on Sunday afternoons that you could see the best WRJ dancers strut their stuff in their cowboy finery including boots and Stetsons.
