Answer 
Jive and rock'n'roll are both types of dance and music, but they have some key differences:
Origin
Jive became popular in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, influenced by swing music. Rock'n'roll originated in the 1950s from rhythm and blues, and was initially popular with African-Americans.
Dance moves
The basic steps for jive are based on a six-beat sequence. Rock'n'roll dancing is similar to jive, but more free.
Music
Rock'n'roll comes in many sounds, but most rock bands use a rhythm section of electric bass, rhythm guitar, and drum kit, with lead guitar and vocals as the lead instruments.
Modern jive is a style that incorporates moves from swing, rock'n'roll, salsa, and tango. It's often danced freestyle, and can include hundreds of moves and variations.
