Benni Schmitz: It Needs to Be a Show

We talk to Benni Schmitz about choreographing a jump rope routine, developing a spidey sense for finding routine music, how it’s not going down if you use Kesha’s Timber (though we still love Kesha), his time in Italy in lockdown, and using jump rope as a creative outlet.

Spoiler alert! Harry Potter plot details within.

You can find Benni on Facebook and here are links to some of our discussion topics:

• Benni’s blog post
• Nick and Kaylee’s jump rope workouts through their company Learnin’ the Ropes
• The Inverse Toad or Toad Inverse and EB Inverse TJ or EB TJ Inverse skills (demonstrated by Dylan Plummer on the Tricktionary site he and Svante Bengtson put together)
• Shazam (an app that most of the time can listen to a song and identify it)
