Musings on Hoop Dance

One day, I would really like to create an introduction to hooping video, so I can capture the imagination of those with idle curiosity (and to refer people to it). Everything else that comes once you get into the hoop is part of the journey.

There is a junior high class that will be joining me for one day in December over at Trico, which I am pretty excited about. 18 kids plus teachers.

Understandably, the teacher asked for a description of hooping. I really should write one. Till then, I passed along 3 videos that I feel describe it fairly well as far as the way I see it. Enjoy!

Hooping for Peace

"Ultimately, if it is true that 'outer peace begins with inner peace,' then by collectively cultivating self-acceptance through hooping, we are one big step closer toward world peace.
But why hooping? Well, it’s because the circle itself is a powerful and timeless symbol, encompassing wholeness, completion, equality and revolution.
The circle is considered sacred in many cultures, and it is the blueprint of universe itself: from the orbits of the stars and planets, down to the very atoms of matter, we revolve around each other and yet we remain in the center."
