Cirque-Elation Hoop Dance - Hooperina
Kids will explore different ways to move hula hoops on and off their bodies while improving balance and rhythm simultaneously. Hooping combines technical moves and tricks with freestyle or technical dancing. Modern hooping has been influenced by art forms such as rhythmic gymnastics, hip-hop, freestyle dance, fire performance, twirling poi and other dance and movement forms. Hooping is part of the greater spectrum of flow arts, playful movement arts involving skill toys that are used to evoke the exploration of dynamic, flowing and sequential movements.
