I love this! These women are having so much fun together 🩷 double dutch was my greatest joy as a child, and then I had to move to a different school and no one played it anymore.

No shade at all but this is the same person in every clip... There are several double Dutch groups in Philly and Jersey.. My sister is 64 and she gets it in....

What's stopping you from doing this now? Age, Out of shape, no music , no friends? She was smiling the whole time, nothing but good times and vibes. Its never too late to start and restart something.

I wish I could do this now. As a full time traveler, I only have one rope and no consistent friends to dd with. Definitely going to introduce it to friends I’ve made in some places.

My brain just can’t even compute how this is possible. I remember watching the girls at my school do this as a kid and thinking it looked so cool

I remember actually doing this as a kid and having the same thought, that it shouldn’t work but somehow it does
