    I used to double dutch with my auntie (my age) and my cousins. Seeing this video makes me thankful of those times. Makes me miss double dutch...

    I attend a Haitian Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Currently, after the service, I bring soccer and foot balls and the kids and I all have a blast playing. However, many of the girls don’t participate and do their own thing. I just ordered two 14’ jump ropes, and will be bringing them this weekend to show all the girls.
    I’m betting they’re going to absolutely love it!

    I'm am from Brooklyn. I am not surprised that the Dutch created it (the name speaks for itself), and I am not surprised that it became popular in New York City first (which the Dutch founded), because Double Dutch were played everywhere all over New York growing up.

      I'm relatively surprised, though, being that "Double Dutch" was an alleged private/secret language/lingo/tongue used by Our slave ancestors. 🤔

    They sang one of the songs my friends and I would sing when we would do double dutch in Seattle in the 80s. Crazy how the songs travel so far. I really miss it. I can still remember how it felt to rock back and forth to find your rhythm and the right time to ǰump in.

I believe they need to pass it down and keep it going, it's so fun to watch and it's just fun . Thank u for sharing this and thank you for educating me and expanding my outlook and views.

    ❤QUESTION:
    Does anyone remember using ONE EXTRA LONG ROPE to jump double Dutch?
    ❤Growing up We used ONE EXTRA LONG ROPE to jump double Dutch.
    ❤2 Turners:
    1st Turner
    😊 held the rope around her waist (while stabilizing the rope slack with her feet)
    2nd TURNER
    😊 held the two free ends of the rope.
    ❤Note:
    You had to be GOOD- STRONG TURNER because it was easy to become "DOUBLE-HANDED TURNER" (this meant your double Dutch rope turning was OFF RHYTHM).
    ❤we also used ONE EXTRA LONG ROPE TO PLAY SINGLE JUMPING ROPE GAME:
    ❤ALL IN TOGETHER GIRLS
    JUMP ROPE GAME SONG:
    🎶all, all, all (as long as it took singing "all' UNTIL ALL PLAYERS WERE INSIDE THE SINGLE TURNING ROPE.
    🎶the song continues:
    ❤all in together girls, how you like the weather girls?
    🎶the song continues: ❤January - February- March- April- May- June July - August- September - October November- December- ❤(everyone jumps OUT OF TURNING ROPE ON THEIR OWN BIRTH MONTH)
    ❤We also use long telephone cable for jump rope sometimes. The telephone repairman would give us the cable if we asked him (BELL TELEPHONE "MA BELL"😂

      Not sure about that part but as a 70s kid from The Netherlands we (well, not me, never had the agility) played it and it was much older than that. I can assure you being kids we had no idea that it was popular elsewhere. To us it was so normal we didn't have a specific name for it. We called it skipping rope, whether it was single jumper with one rope or double dutch style.
