Jump!'s Bridge Dance


Our younger company members had a great time performing at the opening of a new pedestrian bridge at India Point Park, Providence, on October 18th. The dancers created a site specific dance around the area, and will perform excerpts from it in the VALLEY OF THE DOLL + Other Works performance November 1 and 2.

JUMP! Dancers Receive Accolades in the Press

Paula Hunter, Jump!'s artistic director, has just finished a very successful run of her show "Home Alone 2" featuring four Jump! dancers. Johnette Rodriguez of the Providence Phoenix gave Hunter a glowing review, and reserved special praise for the J! members: "And back come Herreid, Norton-Bliss, and Stenhouse, three amazingly polished young dancers, who physical technique is matched only by their pose and acting ability in these sketches. They are joined by JUMP! tap dancers Jessica Coon in A Cup of Hot Liquid is a Dangerous Thing... Coon in terrific, keeping her taps a subtle percussive punctuation."
