The Jump Session Show is back by popular demand for the 3rd year in a row. It is the highlight of the weekend and is a great way to kick off Camp Jitterbug. Featuring the top talent from around the world, the JS Show brings you on a journey through the history of Jazz Dance. Since we have sold out in the previous two years, we have moved to a larger theatre to accomodate demand. This is definitely something you do not want to miss!

Also, half of all proceeds of the show are donated to Snohomish County Campfire USA where all of the donation is used to fund Jazz Dance programming to youth. So, come join the fun while helping make a difference in our community!
