This group's umbrellas came in handy today, not just as a prop, but as protection against the bright summer sun, as the JUMP! Dance Company performed at lunchtime on the floor of the skating rink.

PROVIDENCE – Who needs ice?

The Bank of America City Skating Center was the scene today for a variety of original dances by JUMP! Dance Company that’s part of the Celebrate Providence! 2006 performing arts initiative.

The girls' dance company prides itself on fostering constructive and innovative self-expression while training girls ages 8 to 18 in the choreographic arts.

Today, the youngsters twirled and swirled with umbrellas as props, did their own version of "hip hop on point," and in general entertained a crowd of about 50 lunchtime spectators.
