JUMP was just a thought to The Double Dutch Lady in 2006. Let's fast forward A LOT of years. The pandemic happened, When the world "opened up again", it started off a socially distant, fun, laid-back gathering of "Cousins". A sisterhood, then a family environment. Just Uniting More People Inc. (JUMP) officially became a nonprofit in 2022. We are passing this artform on to the youth in hopes that it will have a positive impact in their lives.
