What is Double Dutch?
Double Dutch is a game in which two long jump ropes turning in opposite directions (think of an eggbeater) are jumped by one or two players jumping simultaneously. It’s not nearly as easy as it may sound—the on some of these kids are amazing, and decades after it began on the streets of New York City, it’s now an international competitive sport!
