About

 

Jumpstyle is a contemporary dance style characterized by a series of forward and backward swings of the legs to the rhythm of techno or electronic music. It is sometimes referred to as Jumpen, a combination of the English word “jump” and the Dutch suffix -en, meaning “to jump” or “jumping.” The Jumpstyle dance is practiced in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and some parts of the United States.

Origin

The term Jumpstyle was coined in the late 1990s to describe an emerging genre of music infusing two styles of electronica: Hardstyle, known for its use of kick drums, faded basslines and melodic synth, and Gabber, a house music variant notable for distorted bass drums and sampled melodies. This genre was given its name by Belgian dance music duo Da Boy Tommy and Da Rick, who became known for their Jumpstyle songs. The dance that became associated with Jumpstyle music is believed to have evolved from the moves people make while skiing.
