Somerset’s boys dance group Jump Start ran for 4 years and met once a week in Yeovil for a weekly class with an aim to develop work that was showcased at the annual Spring Forward festival every year.
The classes were set up specifically to engage boys in dance. Jump Start is an exciting, high energy, physical adventure that incorporated parkour, break dancing and contemporary dance styles. The classes were open to boys of all abilities who have a passion to move.
So far 27 boys have been involved in the project, many of whom have greatly beneficial from the opportunity to take part in physical and creative activities outside mainstream sports and education.
