The Liars were in the Netherlands recently and we came across some kids doing this dance. It’s really bizarre to watch. I was ridiculed for not having heard of it. I love how it references the popular Japanese video game, Dance Dance Revolution.

Wow, that is truly bizarre. Do they really do it to hardstyle techno, or was that just the maker of this video?

I’m from holland, and this Jump thing is a big hype at the moment. The music they dance to is JumpStyle, which is a form of HardStyle Trance. So this IS the music to dance on.
It was fun at the beginning, it was something else then Gabber/Hardcore/Hardstyle … Only it got really overhyped. It’s all over TV with “Jump Contests” and all, and nowadays “Jumping” is mostly performed by 12-year olds.
It’s the first time since 20 years or so, that this music scene has developed it’s own dancing style (since Gabber/Hardcore, i mean), so this new style proved to be the next best thing, but now it’s becoming kind of ridiculous, just search for Jumpstyle on Youtube …

OMG, that was the most wonderfully retarded thing I have ever seen.. Do they bust that out at the techno clubz??

This is just a choreographed version of Chicago footwork set to techno, but way less complicated in the delivery. The best video I’ve seen with “footworkin” is probably the “Walk it out” video by Dude ‘N Nem but that doesn’t really show the mastery of “footworkin.” You have to come to Chi-town for that.

I preferred it when it ‘s hardcore/gabber, I’m not really a hardstyle fan
The jump thing has never caught on here in Canada, but the ravers here all know about it

Another bunch of white people proving we can’t dance. Very embarrassing

That is quite cool and yes I know I am sad for thinking this =]

I’m from Belgium and the first time I saw this dance style it looked ridiculous but I kinda grows on you. Now this dance is just ordinary here and everyone is doing it: boys, girls, kids, … When I actually tried learning this dance (just for fun) I found out that it isn’t as simple as it looks like and I respect the ones who can do this properly.

Yeah, and by the way, it’s done at raves and clubs, but I just do it in school and I can use it for nearly any beat given to me. I have actually found that some of the songs by Rammstein make good jumping songs, if you are into jumping to a darker/heavier beat, which I love. Owe it all to Patrick Jumpen, the “I’m a Jumper!” website, and my friend who introduced it to me a while ago. If you would like to contact me or chat about it you can find me at:
