The Emmy Award Winning
Dance Company from Chicago
Jump Rhythm Jazz Project
JRJP is an Emmy award-winning company of emotion-
charged, rhythmically explosive dancer-singer-actors
based in Chicago that celebrates the timeless core of
all jazz performance -- dancing and singing in high-energy
bursts of swinging body rhythms to the beat-driven sounds
of syncopated music. Since its founding in New York City by
Billy Siegenfeld in 1990, the company has thrilled audiences
and students nationally and internationally with its rich
blend of percussive musicality and story-driven dance
theatre.

He is the 2006 recipient of Chicago's most prestigious dance honor, the Ruth Page Award, which cited him for "his vibrant dance artistry, development of a unique dance vocabulary, and the exciting choreography created in that dance technique." Referring to this approach, the magazine Dancer credited Siegenfeld with "inventing the first genuine jazz technique in forty years," and the magazine Dance Teacher placed him on its Twentieth Century Timeline of Choreographers and Innovators for "developing the Jump Rhythm Technique and founding Jump Rhythm Jazz Project."
