Why is double dutch so good for empowerment and community building?
AM: Double Dutch Divas provides an exciting experience during our Double Dutch sessions. Double Dutch is a wonderful way to gain energetic cardio. Double Dutch enhances speed, balance and patience. As long as you can jump, you can double dutch. Double Dutch allows you to be part of a team, accomplish goals, helps burn calories and provides a full body workout in a short amount of time. The most of all its super fun.
There are more benefits of double dutching, than just having fun, listening to music and jumping trying to see how long you can go without messing up. Double Dutch is a goal-oriented sport. Just like music therapy, there’s Double Dutch therapy. During our Double Dutch Divas sessions, community partners gather around with the interest in learning something that they've never tried before or doing something that they haven't done in a long time.
Double Dutch brings unity into the community, happy people, great vibes, opportunity meet new faces, fun cardio, skill building, increases your bone density, and it also gives your brain a workout. Healthy Willing is Healthy Living. Finding a rhythm while others are watching builds confidence and self-esteem. It's a momentary achievement that brings happiness within as well as the community that is watching. The ending result is the coaches are proud, the audience are super excited, and the participants are gaining a self-esteem boost and moments of joy.
There are some awesome kids in the PNW, what do you love most about working with them?
AM: Double Dutch Divas consists of a team of coaches who have a passion with working with community members of all ages and stages.
As educators, mentors, mothers, recreational leaders, and coaches has always been natural positions for us. As far as my personal feedback given from the public, I am a people person and have been reminded that I have a special knack with working with kids as well as adults. I have a passion with bringing people together to work as one. Working with the kiddos reminds me of how amazing and exciting the world can be. Children learn from adults as well as adults can learn from students. Working with youth on all levels, encourages adults to use our imagination, brings us back to our childhood, brings us out of our comfort zone and helps us find new creative ways of doing things. Nothing strange with change. Our exuberant and outgoing personality brings a special experience to jumping with Double Dutch Divas. Having a fun personality helps build friendships and helps coaches relate with kids with anxiety, social emotional behaviors, depression, and isolation.
