Jumpstyle | Onskool Jumping
It's a dance craze only the Dutch could come up with, or, embrace, as it were.
Check this vid out first. Where is that school? Do most schools in Europe play techno on the grounds during recess? What else happens at these institutions?

I believe the Umpaloompas developed that dance... leave it to the dutch to look like morons...

That's so friggin sweet (in a bizarre way). I'll have to try those moves on the next time I'm at a techno dance party.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as heidi. Wonder if there is some way to trace European folk dances to this.
Evan, I'd play techno just to see you try.

Oh to be in Amsterdam right this very minute! I'm counting the days until this wacky dance craze hits the U.S. of A. God, why must you withhold your goodness from us any longer?

Looks like "clogging" (traditional Dutch or German dancing thus named because the dancers wear the wooden shoes). My grandparents ran a bbq restaurant in NC that featured a group of cloggers every Saturday night. It was kinda awesome.
