ABOUT US : A message from DDT's Fonder Selena!
Three years ago, I envisioned expanding the sport of Double Dutch while raising awareness in the southernmost part of the map. I invited women from all over to join me for what is now known as The Beale Street Double Dutch TAKEOVER. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, we took over the iconic Beale Street in Memphis, TN, showcasing the exhilarating sport of Double Dutch. This event has become legendary, uniting over 200 like-minded women who share a passion for Double Dutch. Inspired by the overwhelming response from attendees, we established the Double Dutch Therapy national movement. Currently, our groups span across Chicago, Illinois; Dover, Delaware; Atlanta, Georgia; San Diego, California; Los Angelos, California, Batesville, MS. and, of course, Memphis, TN.

Double Dutch traditionally has been a children’s game where players jump over two jump ropes that are twirling in opposite directions.
But Ms. Cook takes that well in adulthood. Her therapy initiative is designed for women 40 and over.
“Double Dutch was coming back nationwide. I joined an organization, and I saw the impact that it was having on women all over, women that were retired and just sitting in the house thinking about giving up on life,” Ms. Cook said.
“To be a member, we just ask that you purchase a membership shirt ($30) with your name and age on the back, because the age is the “wow” factor,” said Ms. Taylor, who is 65. “It shows that women that are over 40 years old can still have fun. We can still live.”
Ms. Taylor added that this is “child-free. It’s male-free. It’s a safe space for women. It’s all about laughter, which helps our heart. It’s about mental release and relief.”
