    This is interesting and makes me love jump rope so much more. I was never great at it as a child, but that was also because it was the popular kids that would play jump rope. There were only so many ropes available to use at recess and the popular kids would hoard them. I never got the chance to become good at double dutch because I didn't have people to practice with. But I jumped rope solo all the time.

    I grew up also learning chinese jump rope since I grew up in Flushing, Queens. There were always urban legends told about a girl who could do Chinese jump rope when the 2 girls who were holding the rope held it over their heads.

    It was totally different where I grew up; would be nice if videos specific to a certain country/culture were labelled as that. It's just as interesting for me to learn about how things developed in America, but I'd like to know that's what the video is about by its title.

    • @rachelle_banks
      @rachelle_banks 3 года назад +1

      No. But Rhythm has been a constant throughout Black Culture. Bebop was an off branch of a type of jazz. But well before that was rhythmic poetry even in Africa.
      So everything feeds into everything else.
