Thank you Ken for posting this. This is the only clip I’ve seen of me spinning the double mini’s at FireDrums this year. Unfortunately the camera is 90 degrees off of where I was performing to. These double mini firehoops are available through Cosmic Fire.

Spin Matsuri – Japanese spinning festival
Is there a trip to Japan in my near future? I hope so.
Spin Matsuri is a celebration of movement and connection within Japan’s growing Hoop Dance and Spin communities. Dancers, instructors and free spirits from across the country and around the world will come together for three days to share, learn and create. Spin Matsuri is an inclusive event and welcomes all forms of expression through movement; from beginner hoop dancers to international spin stars!
For more information visit Spin Matsuri.

Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix)
Great track. She has a magic ethereal voice and then they bring the grime :) I found this track through Gotta Dance Dirty.
Christabel on KFOG 6/2/09, The HOOPING Book!
Thank you Christabel for name dropping Khan, Bax and I in the interview. She’s beginning a radio tour promoting her new book Hooping! A Revolutionary Fitness Program. If your in SF, come by the Make-Out Room in the Mission District for her book opening party from 7-10pm tonight. Lauren and I will be there.
I was immediately comfortable and at ease with Renee and Peter (who had already done a segment on my classes in the past) as well as Greg, who was super welcoming. It was an unusual show because Renee, the host, has personally hooped many times before and is passionate about it already. She is fascinated by the more male styles and conceptually already understood the dynamism and grace in hooping as an art form. Neat way to start! This allowed some super juicey material to present itself rather fast in the interview, which had 15 whole minutes, as well as call-ins. Then suddenly, we were on air.

NOELTECH # 1: Together Time Same Direction
In this video Noel and other Vulcan folks demonstrate Together Time Same Direction with multiple props. I’ll write more about timing and direction soon. The concepts around timing and direction are critical for off-body double hooping.
