Jump & Jive in Rockwall


Jump and Jive says it is finally okay to jump inside. The huge warehouse located at 356 Ranch Trail in Rockwall offers thousands of feet of climate-controlled fun. The arena features huge air-filled structures that attract kids of all ages, including teenagers. Jump and Jive not only provides a much needed energy outlet for kids of all ages in a safe environment, they also provide for the community.

On the second Saturday of every month, the doors open from 9-10 a.m. for children with special needs and their parents.

In approaching Jump and Jive owner, Elisha Duckworth, they found a friend. Duckworth, herself a teacher, understood their need and invited the group to use the facility before the doors opened, at no charge to the parents. Three years later, they are still meeting there.

The group, hosted by Noel Andring and Sandy Woods has become so popular that their email list is now over 200 names. The Jump and Jive arena offers a great stress reliever for parents, and the kids can be rambunctious and run and play with their friends and siblings. The group that was originally started for Down’s syndrome kids now includes autistic kids as well.
