Helsinki-Hops

Attending the Helsinki-Hops you will experience the diverse sport of rope skipping (also known as jump rope). Members of Rope Skipping Helsinki and other jumpers from the Helsinki metropolitan area including Nordicjumproping will be at the venue helping you with anything jump rope related.

The event consists of several workshops that broadly cover different sub-genres of rope skipping. You are welcome to pick the most interesting ones or join them all if you so desire. All the workshops are beginner-friendly and suitable for both children and adults.
Between the workshops you can jump rope at your pace or watch rope skipping performances by the organizers.

Weather-appropriate outdoor sports gear and your own jump rope is recommended but not necessary. Ropes of different lengths can be borrowed from the organizers.

14:30-15:30 Long rope and Double Dutch
Long rope is a jump rope classic from the school playgrounds in which two people turn a signle (long) rope while a third person jumps inside. Double Dutch is a more advanced version of the same concept with two ropes turning simultaneously instead of one.

16:00-17:00 Nordicjumproping dance + jump rope
Anna and Jutta from Nordicjumproping teach a simple dance choreography with a jump rope.

17:30-18:30 Trick workshop
Have you ever wondered what one can do with a single rope besides jumping over it in the traditional way? We will explore different tricks and jumping techniques glimpsing at the infinite artistic and athletic possiblities a jump rope can offer. Perhaps you'll even be inspired to invent your own trick or jumping style!

19:00-20:00 Rope skipping workout
As anyone who ever tried jumping rope probably knows, rope skipping can be physically exhausting and a good form of excercise. Here you will be encouraged to challenge the boundaries of your body by doing physically demanding jump rope movements such as jumping fast, high or while in demanding positions.
