Building Stronger
Communities Through Movement.
We believe Double Dutch is more than a game — it's a bridge that connects people, builds confidence, and creates lasting change.
Who We Are
Our Mission & Vision.
Showdem Movement Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities through the power of Double Dutch and movement — creating welcoming spaces where every person belongs.
Our Mission
To promote love, unity, healing, and wellness through Double Dutch and movement. We create inclusive spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds can strengthen their mind, body, and spirit, build confidence, develop meaningful connections, and experience the joy of movement.
Through community service, mentorship, and outreach, we strive to reflect God's love in everything we do while empowering individuals and inspiring positive change throughout our communities.
Our Vision
To build stronger communities where every individual feels welcomed, valued, empowered, and inspired to grow and connect.
We envision a world where movement is a universal bridge — connecting people across every background, age, and experience — and where the joy of community is accessible to all.
What We Stand For
Our Core Values.
Every decision, every session, every partnership flows from these seven values. They're not words on a wall — they're how we show up every day.
Love
We lead with kindness, compassion, and respect in every interaction, every session, and every relationship we build.
Unity
We bring people together across all backgrounds, ages, cultures, and generations — because the rope doesn't discriminate.
Healing
We support the wellness of the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — through movement and meaningful human connection.
Empowerment
We help individuals build confidence, discover their potential, and believe in themselves — one jump at a time.
Service
We give back through outreach, mentorship, volunteerism, and community engagement because serving others is who we are.
Movement
We use Double Dutch as a powerful tool for transformation, wellness, joy, and connection that transcends language and background.
Faith
We reflect God's love through our actions, our service, and the way we genuinely care for every person who walks through our doors.
Meet the Founder
From One Video to a Movement.
A journey rooted in faith, fueled by community, and ignited by a single step of faith.
Original Double Dutch Video
In 2018, I recorded a video of myself jumping Double Dutch on July 4th. At the time, I had no idea this simple video would one day become the beginning of something much bigger.
Searching for Purpose
After walking away from my six-figure business, I entered a season of searching for purpose — praying, fasting, and growing in my relationship with Jesus. I trusted that God was leading me somewhere greater.
"I didn't know what was next, but I believed God was leading me somewhere greater."
It Went Viral
On July 1, 2022, I reposted my old Double Dutch video. I thought I was sharing an old memory. Instead, it unexpectedly went viral and reached millions — and that single post became the spark that started the Showdem Movement.
The First Community Sessions
Inspired by the response, I began hosting free community Double Dutch sessions. People from different ages, cultures, and backgrounds came together to jump, connect, and build community. This was the moment I knew Double Dutch could become much more.
Times Square — 42 Million Views
We brought Double Dutch to Times Square. A Times Square session video went on to be viewed more than 42 million times, introducing people around the world to street-style Double Dutch.
A Real Community
By 2025, Showdem had become much more than viral videos. People from different boroughs and cities gathered in Times Square to jump, connect, encourage one another, and celebrate street-style Double Dutch.
The First Showdem Jump Off
People traveled from different boroughs and cities to compete, jump, connect, and celebrate the culture together. Borough vs. Borough. City vs. City. One Community.
The Mission Continues
We Create Spaces Where
Everyone Can Shine.
Today, Showdem Movement Foundation continues to use Double Dutch to promote love, unity, healing, and the power of community — everywhere we go.
All began with one step of faith.
