Jumptown's Jammers and dancers will be there (see times below) and there's always something new around the corner. Jumptown Jitterbugs is also kicking off again soon, so if you have young friends or kids (well, teens) who are looking to try out a fun dance style, forward this newsletter or grab a flyer in class. We will be promoting the Jitterbugs classes and Jumptown as part of the National Youth Week Expo next Friday 9 April. Get down to Garema Place for the Jammers' performances at 6.20pm and 7.20pm and a free workshop in between. Did you know we are also on facebook?
