Talk:Double Dutch (jump rope)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Double Dutch jump roping began long before the hip hop culturists were even born. I was born in 1952 in New York City and I was jumping double dutch from the age of 6 through my early teens in the 1950's and 1960's. During that time, double dutch was an inner city activity amongst Black and Hispanic girls, much like stick ball for our Black and Hispanic boys. This is what we did after school and on weekends in the inner city.

By the way, I'm still jumping Double Dutch. Check out Double Dutch Divas.com.
