JUMPSTYLE DANCE

Pure energy from Belgium and the Netherlands

THE STYLE

What is Jumpstyle Dance?

The jumpstyle dance was born in Belgium and the Netherlands in the late 90s, in the hardstyle and hardcore scene. Its base move is as direct as its name: jumping. One leg drives upwards while the other kicks forward, synced to the kick of the music. At 140-150 BPM, the result is an explosive, technical and visually striking dance.

The jumpstyle has a huge global community, especially in Europe. It was born at raves and took off on YouTube in the mid-2000s, becoming one of the most recognisable styles of the electronic underground. At Adrenaline we teach it in Madrid from scratch, with clear progression and plenty of rhythm.

TECHNIQUE

JUMPSTYLE

  • The base jump

    One leg drives the jump while the other kicks forward. Syncing with the kick is everything.

  • Single and Double Kick

    The single kick (one kick per beat) is the starting point. The double kick doubles the speed and the difficulty.

  • Alternation and rhythm

    The legs alternate on every jump. The coordination between push-off and kick defines how clean the move is.

  • Arms and style

    The arms act as a counterweight. Over time each dancer develops their own visual signature.

THE STYLES

Oldschool and Hardjump

Jumpstyle has evolved from its original 90s raves into the more technical and explosive style of today. Two variants define that history: Oldschool, true to the beat and the clean kick, and Hardjump, the newschool current that takes the style to the limit.

Oldschool

The original style. Clean, alternating kicks and precise timing with the beat. It is a more melodic style, so all its energy goes into perfect sync with the music.

Hardjump
