Club Hoop

Here's an example of club hooping. Sorry the video quality is not that great, but it gives you the idea. This is the video that got me wanting to try hooping! I really really really want an LED hoop!
I'm not sure about the furry leg warmers...they are somewhat ubiquitous in the hooping scene, especially in clubs (at least the ones I've seen), though you'll find some hoop dancers that that don't like to wear them.

One of my most favorite hooping videos

KC and Elana from Read My Hips, a tribal bellydance troupe, are also awesome hoopers. They bellydance the first half of the clip, then bring out the hoops in the latter half. Both of these songs have been on my list for performance for some time now, and I loved seeing them in action with the music!!! Beautiful women doing some beautiful hooping Check it out

Tribe is THE place to connect with other hoopers from all over the world. I've met an incredible amount of hoopers who have given me guidance, tips and tricks, as well as that extra encouragement when I'm feeling down or frustrated. There are tribes about hoop dancing, hooping costumes, videos that help you learn technique, and even a tribe to just write posts about hooping and the joy you experience. Plus you can connect with not only professional hoopers like Rayna (Hoopnotica) and Christabel (HoopGirl) but also a wide range of folks at different levels in their hooping. It is such a wonderful place!

I even connected with a gal in my own town who will be teaching classes at a local gym. I would have NEVER known about it if I hadn't been on tribe. In addition to hooping there are thousands of other tribes ranging from cooking, belly dance, makeup and skincare, religion and political issues.

I'm forever indebted to tribe for hooking me up in the world of hooping!

Here is the link for the main hooping tribe, you can branch out from there.
