Double Dutch Skipping Challenge

5 Comments Double Dutch

Update: This competition has now ended

Forget about strutting your stuff on the dance floor – a new challenge has hit the streets. So grab your rope and learn how to Double Dutch for the chance to win the ultimate prize of a city break to Amsterdam.

easyJet and The Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions are offering five lucky regional Double Dutch teams the chance to hop, skip and jump their way into the grand final in Central London in April.

Why not visit the regional skipping showcases taking place in Manchester and Edinburgh throughout March to see for yourself how the professionals do it and get inspiration for your own Double Dutch routine.

Then… add a sprinkling of your own ‘orange spirited’ style, submit a short clip of your routine and you could be shortlisted to compete for the Double Dutch crown at the grand final in front of a live audience.
