Jumpstyling
June 1st, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
My people have done it again. From the people who gave you the French Fries and a lot of very fine beers — my ancestral home, Belgium — we can now take “Jumpstyling.” You saw a small example of it on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE this week, now you can see several examples on YouTube:
- It almost just looks like bad DDR
- Synchronized Jumpstyling
- Yeah, I definitely like Duo Jumpstyle better.
- A Ten Minute “Jumptorial”
- Jumpstyling: The Music Video
- The Simpsons jumpstyle — sorta.
- You can buy the shirt at Belgian-jumpstyle.com, of course.
- Best example yet, as recorded in a dance studio
- No, really, watch it again. It’s a great dance.
As it turns out, most people who Jumpstyle don’t like you seeing their faces all that much. Granted, all of the motion is in the legs, but it makes you wonder why. . .
Having watched all that now, my legs ache. Looks like good exercise, though, even if it’s hell on the knees.
