Jumpstyle is a dance and music genre mainly practiced in Europe, specifically the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and northern France. The dance is also called Jumpen (English word Jump + the Dutch suffix -en, meaning "to jump" or "jumping"). Jumpstyle also refers to a style of music to which Jumpstyle can be performed.[1]. Jumpstyle originated in 1997 in Belgium. Jumpstyle is an off-shoot of the Gabber music and dance scene.
The modern dance associated with Jump, has evolved from the hakken-dance (known from gabber music which was popular in the 90s). The modern jump dance is also called skiën (lit. "skiing"). Performance by more than one person is the most popular. The legs are the most important part of the body in jumpstyle. It is performed by a series of forward and backward swings of the legs on the rhythm of the music. The most simple form of jumpstyle can be done as follows:[3]
* The dancer swings his/her right leg forward twice. His/her foot would be at the same height his/her knee.
* The dancer would then raise his/her left leg.
* The dancer then swings his/her left leg backwards. Similar to the original step, the foot would be level with the knee.
* The left leg would be put onto the ground, in front of the right foot.
* The dancer would repeat this.
More difficult paces include those with turns, twists and so on.
The music which accompanies Jumpstyle is an offspring of Happy Hardcore and Gabber. Its tempo is usually between 140 and 150 BPM. However, it cannot be seen as merely a slowed down version of gabber. It is characterized by a 909 kick drum used in a 4 to the floor beat. It also has influences from Chicago House.[4]SBecause of the big hype around the dance and music style itself in 2007 and 2008, it suffers from image-problems in especially The Netherlands. Because of this, the euphoric/melodic Jump like it was made around 2006 till 2008 is not being released anymore these days. However, there are still some radio stations left, broadcasting Jump in its traditional form. The oldest Jump radio was founded in 2005 and still exists today under the name of JumpStation.FM[5].

Koliko vidim jumpstyle u Hrvatskoj gotovo ne postoji što je pak žalosno s obzirom na neobican i veoma kretivan nacin "plesanja".
Jeste li se ikada susreli s ovakvim nacinom plesanja?? Kako vam se cini sam jumpstyle?
Evo i jedan spot koji je po meni ikona jumpstyla:
