Hoop teachers, hoop troupes, and solo dancers are invited to participate in this 7th annual global hoop project to celebrate World Hoop Day on October 1, 2016.
This year there are two separate choreographies to the dance. They interleave with alternating features and framing/backdancing segments. There are some parts that are synchronized and lots of time for “freestyle, formations, and features” which allow your troupe to adjust for its own strengths and staging.
SECTION A TUTORIAL
This one is quick to learn and relatively easy for all levels of hoopers.
SECTION B TUTORIAL
For hoopers with foot hooping and body rolls, or anyone who likes rehearsals and a fun challenge!
