OntheDouble (dutch) was an adult, all-girl double dutch troupe based in Seattle, WA (2003 ~ 2010). The team started with women who wanted to have fun while exercising and quickly evolved to incorporate music, theatrical elements, matching outfits and live performances. OntheDouble has jumped at the Seattle Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, numerous Bumbershoots, Rat City Roller Girls bouts, Capitol Hill Block Parties, Artopia, On the Boards’ 12 Minutes Max and the Stranger and Zenzi Gong Shows (to name a few). We put the recess back in recession!
