'Jump Jams mission is to provide a quality, fun and exciting students aerobic programs to schools, that will motivate our children to enjoy exercise thus promoting health and wellness with our school and communities'.

Turn the music up and dance away to the moves and groves, physical activity is good for the body and mind.
