Spinning

This is the most beautiful art of dancing with a hula hoop. It involves the hooper, the music and the hula all working together to create a seamless dance experience.

Hoopers can be found all over the world. Usually, you will find hoopers meet up at various music festivals to share experiences, learn new hooping moves and put on a wonderful display of talent for the crowd.

Hoopers are friendly people who will welcome anyone to join in. Typically, hoopers will carry more than one hoop for either double spinning, or simply to allow others to join in the festivities.

Spinners or hoopers are generally associated with the jam music scene. Typical bands you would be able to see at these festivals include moe., Keller Williams, STS9 and many many more. Most notably, the band the String Cheese Incident. If you have ever been driving and seen a pedestrian sign with a hula hoop around the person, that is in honour of the String Cheese Incident or SCI.

Hula hooping has been taken to the next level. There is no doubt that hula hooping is a good exercise, but there are now groups of people meeting weekly with an instructing and hula hooping for half an hour straight. This takes endurance!

Exercise hoops, spinning hoops or hula hoops, whatever you call them... they are healthy and fun for all ages. It's great to see that this hobby has now turned into a full time exercise regime. I feel kinda healthy!
