Jumpup Dance Academy

🧢 Streetdance challenge: invent one move and give it a brilliant name.

It could be “The Sunny Slide”, “The Backpack Bounce”, or “The Super Spin”.

Teach it to someone at home and see if they can copy your style. Streetdance is full of personality, confidence, and playful energy.

🎒 September may feel far away, but new classes can fill quickly. If your child is ready to start Ballet,

Tap, Modern, Streetdance, or add a second style, August is a great time to ask about spaces.

Starting the school year with a dance goal is a lovely way to build confidence.

👞 Tap dancers, listen carefully today.
Can you hear rhythm in footsteps, a ticking clock, a bouncing ball, or rain on the window?

Try clapping the rhythm back, then make your own little pattern. Tap helps dancers count, listen, focus, and feel music in a really fun way.

🩰 Ballet holiday idea: choose a gentle piece of music and make your arms tell a story. They could be waves, wings, flowers opening, or stars in the sky.

Ballet is not only about neat feet, it also teaches control, posture, musicality, and expression.
What story would your ballet arms tell today?

Congratulations Miss Bea & Cameron from your jumpup family. Fabulous picture!

Have a fantastic honeymoon!

🌞 Hello August! The summer holidays are in full swing, but dance can still pop up anywhere. A kitchen groove, a garden spin, a little stretch before breakfast, or a silly family dance battle all count.

Keep it light, keep it fun, and let your dancer remember that movement can make any day brighter.

🌦️ Today’s dance forecast: sunny arms, cloudy spins, windy jumps, and a chance of freestyle!

Ask your dancer to make a “weather dance” using different speeds and levels.

Low stormy shapes, high sunshine reaches, and quick raindrop footwork can become a whole routine.

🌞 Goodbye July!
This month was all about keeping creativity alive during the summer break.

If your dancer has made a move, drawn a costume, created a rhythm, or danced around the kitchen, that counts. Keep it light, keep it fun, and keep that Jumpup feeling going into August.

🐞 For younger dancers, movement can start with a story. Dance like a sleepy cat, a busy bee, a tall tree, or a wobbly jelly.

These playful ideas help balance, coordination, listening, and confidence.

No pressure, no perfect steps, just joyful movement and lots of giggles.

📦 Here’s a lovely summer idea: create a tiny dance time capsule. Write down your favourite style, favourite song, trickiest move, proudest moment, and one goal for September.

Keep it somewhere safe and open it when the new dance year begins.

It’s a fun way to see progress.
