Here is another great example of what I was talking about in my last post. DDF is a team that really understands what it means to perform. They put on a great show from beginning to end. I love watching them jump.

Loading...I think jump rope teams everywhere can learn a lot from the way some of the Japanese Double Dutch teams perform. For example check out the Capilore Double Dutch team from Japan. They make everything look very professional. They’re dressed really cool. They look smooth and confident when they jump. They do some great tricks and they have great turners. But most importantly, they are always performing. Even when they aren’t in the ropes, they are still in the background dancing or striking a pose. I’ve seen a lot of performances through the years where after a jumper exits the ropes they bow, wave, and run off to the side. Then they stand behind the rest of the performers and start talking to their friends while the show is still going on. They aren’t even paying attention to the jumping that is going on. That just doesn’t happen with these Japanese teams. They are constantly performing, even when their section of the routine is over. They are always doing something that compliments the performance that is going on. We should all strive for that level of professionalism in our performances.

Not only do they do some excellent Double Dutch freestyle, they also incorporate a little BMX freestyle and some break dancing. One of the great things about performances like this is that there are no rules. The only limit is your imagination. It’s cool to see some crossover from other sports and performance arts coexist with jump rope. I’ve seen breakdancing, BMX, unicycle, freestyle soccer (or freestyle football for the rest of the world), and even freestyle footbag (think hacky sack) along side jump rope performances. What unique combinations of jump rope with other sports have you seen?
