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."
