Dance

Jump also comes with a certain way of dancing, and there are certain 'styles' in this dance.

• Oldskool/Belgian Jump: Was based on the first move that was used in the dance called 'skieën', later a certain standard routine came that was a combination of kicking forwards and backwards both legs on the basslines, even later certain moves came such as a spin.

• Frenchtek: This is based on the harder variant of normal jump called Frenchtek, it is based on jumping in a square like routine. Later on the moves used in Oldskool Jump were merged in the Frenchtek style and people rather call it Hardjump now.

• German Jump: This is a offtake from Germany of the Oldskool/Belgian Jump. The jumper has to touch the ground at all steps outside the to at the front have to be close to the ground.

• Starstyle: The jumper dance it to Industrial Jump or to Hardstyle. The jump is more sidewise than the others.

• Hardjump: This is the hardest variant of Jumpstyle. The basic step is different from the others and the jumper has to pitch hard on the ground.

• Freestyle: With this style, the 'jumper' does whatever he feels like, there are no certain restrictions of jumping and it usually involves a mix of Oldskool Jump & Hardjump.

• Duojump: Is jumping with two(or more) people at the same time, usually the people performing the Duojump have practiced it before performing it, since they both do exactly the same routine and try to synchronize it as much as possible.
