Some Styles in Jumpstyle

Following are some styles in Jumpstyle: {:

  1. Old Skool/Basis Jump: This is the simplest form of jump that almost all jumpers will learn when starting out. It is something anyone can pick up and have fun with, which is what makes jumpstyle so accessible to the masses. It is made from 5 basics steps.
  2. Hardjump: The Hardjump is a more complicated 6 step basics and is a little harder to master. However, this is the most important and most used part of jumpstyle. While you can do the same moves in old skool jump and hardjump, typically more advanced moves are coupled with hardjump. It is also performed with more power as you are stamping the ground rather than kicking the air.
  3. Sidejump: Sidejump is essentially hardjump with a different set of moves. Most of which will have you facing the side while your jump. While it incorporates the same basic 6 steps of the hardjump, more advanced dancers tend not to use these steps at all and rely entirely on tricks and turns.
  4. Freestyle: (now most commonly known as ownstyle in some parts of the world) Freestyle is generally doing whatever you want, therefore any moves and any basics can be used. Previously this was posted as Hardjump and Old Skool jump, and then a new name was given to styles that included sidejump. The reason for this new name was that sidejump had not been invented when the article was written. So the new name "Ownstyle" was invented to show all three styles. However as will all dances, freestyle does mean "all moves" and "unrehearsed". So Freestyle and Ownstyle are the same thing. This also tends to be the most popular style amongst more advanced jumpers, as it has no restrictions, but for this same reason is less popular in tournaments.
