Screening of Emmy-winning documentary, "Jump Rhythm Jazz Project: Getting There"
Jump Rhythm Technique is a unique pedagogy that helps transform dancing bodies and singing voices into vibrantly clear percussion instruments. Dancer Magazine credits Siegenfeld with "inventing the first genuine jazz technique in forty years," and Dance Teacher magazine placed him on its 20th Century Timeline of Choreographers and Innovators for "develop[ing] the Jump Rhythm Technique and found[ing] Jump Rhythm Jazz Project."
About Jump Rhythm Jazz Project
JUMP RHYTHM JAZZ PROJECT is a company of rhythmically exuberant dancers that celebrates the timeless core of all jazz performance - dancing and singing in swinging, high-energy bursts of body rhythms to the beat-driven sounds of syncopated music. Since its founding by artistic director Billy Siegenfeld in 1990, the company has thrilled audiences and students nationally and internationally with its rich blend of percussive musicality and emotion-charged dance theatre.
