Double Dutch a sport in which one person jumps rope with two ropes and one or more people jumping simultaneously; this involves at least three people total: one or more jumping and two turning the ropes. while jumping the person usually does tricks that may involve gymnastics or breakdancing, it can also have fancy foot movements incorporated During the very early years of hip hop culture, double-dutch was an element of the culture, and young people, many boys do this for fitness and it is competed at world level, would have double-dutch competitions at block parties. After hip hop began moving towards the mainstream in the early 1980s, double-dutch fell out of favor as a recognized element of hip hop, although it remains popular with athletes to this day. Double Dutch has seen a resurgence in popularity as of late. The National Double Dutch League holds yearly camps and a Holiday Classic, in which teams from all over the world compete. Double Dutch is still a prominent part of the hip hop culture in some areas, and is becoming more and more prevalent in cities such as San Francisco and Seattle.

Jump In! features the Dutch Dragons, based on a real Double Dutch team from 1997 in Harlem, NY.

Double Dutch can also mean: the girl uses the pill and the boy is using a condom while having sex, so they are double protected.
What are types of jump roping?
You can jump rope with one rope by yourself. You can have two people hold a long rope on either, turning it while you jump. There is also a type called Double Dutch, where two people hold two ropes, one end in each hand. They turn the ropes in opposite directions so for example: if I'm turning one rope in my left hand clockwise, then I turn the rope in my other hand counter clockwise. Not at the same time though. I'd start turning with my left hand, then move in with my right in order to create rhythm. Double Dutching is a bit fast paced and takes a lot of practice.
