If she hasn’t been jump roping much, she probably shouldn’t have tried Double Dutch. But, she tried & likely will conquer it, because she perserveres at things.
“Rope skipping” was done in Ancient Egypt and China, and eventually Europe. Dutch colonists brought the two-rope version over to America in the 1600s, which is why it was called “double dutch.” Https://www.Pushblack.US/news/true-history-double-dutch

It’s like running in the rain. First one foot lands in a deep puddle, then the other foot cuts through the splash made by the first foot.
