Top 5 Tips: Double Dutch with Ebony Ingram and the Cast of "She A Gem"

Double Dutch coach Ebony Ingram gives her top 5 tips for learning how to jump double dutch, as demonstrated by the cast of "She A Gem"!

About "She A Gem"
World premiere Kennedy Center commission

In this original play by Josh Wilder, three teenagers—Krystin, Jaleesa, and Amber—form a Double Dutch team in inner city Philadelphia to compete in their neighborhood pageant. If they win, they’ll receive a special prize: their futures told by Ms. Mary, the local psychic. Will they become a famous singer? A hair dresser? Or maybe a “gem,” a special leader who cares for the neighborhood?

Then they meet a pregnant teen from North Philly who can jump Double Dutch almost better than any of them. Just as the girls anticipate learning about their futures, they’ll learn something important about her past that affects them all.
