Dance? Exercise? A Way Of Life? Hula Hooping Offers All Of That And More

The Hooping Movement Hits Its Stride.
By Daniel Krieger

When filmmaker Amy Goldstein first came across a hula hooping community near her home in Venice Beach, California, she was intrigued. Some of her acquaintances had adopted monikers and were dressing differently, she recalls, "and they seemed a whole lot happier." That was in 2004, and two years later, she began working on a documentary about this subculture, called The Hooping Life, which came out last year.

Since her first encounter, she has watched the movement expand and evolve. "What's happening in hooping is just explosive," she says, "and it keeps growing and growing."

Now you can find vibrant hooping communities with gatherings, or “hoop camps,” all over — from California to North Carolina to Germany, Japan, Australia, Bali. Participants can hone their technique, learn how to run a hoop business, and connect with fellow hooping travelers. There's even a magazine, Hooping.org, covering all things hooping, and Hoop City, a site that helps you find hoopers to meet up with for a “hoop jam.” It's a means of fitness for some, while for many others it’s an art form, a moving meditation, and even a way of life, which one  ...READ MORE...

Video: World Hoop Day in NYC!

10/15/2013

0 Comments

 
Hooray for World Hoop Day! With a roving performance troupe, we made our way through two boroughs to perform in five locations! Along the way, we inspired smiles, gifted hoops, and even hooped on the F train!

Of course, we absolutely *had to* record it, and I wanted to share with you NYC's first WHD choreographed performance! This dance was performed by hoopers all over the globe last weekend, and we will represent NYC in the worldwide compilation video, coming soon.

The hoopers and crew were super troopers. We had participating performers from far and wide; a few hoopers traveled from other states to join us...we even had hoopers from Paris and Berlin come play with us! They worked hard to make this project happen and for that, my co-leader Allisun and I are over-the-top thankful! We're hoping you agree that it was all worth it when you watch it!

Please remember, too, we did this all for charity! Put some love in our online tip jar and your donation will be sent to the World Hoop Day Organization. 

We had a great time spreading the hoop love... How did you celebrate World Hoop Day? Tell us in the comments below! Happy Hooping!
