Hello all you lovely hoopers! I am Alley'Oop(nice to meet you)...and I have been spinning for quite a long time (hitting 5 years or so) I am not very good at posting and being online, but I do check out the hooping online whenever I can. And I was hoping all you wonderful people might be able to help me out with some suggestions.
Im a Poi Spinner and a Hooper, and oddly enough I started with fire, and then moved into performances with black light a little later. I also hold a Pyrotechnics licence and have been performing all over the place as far as Mexico. I have been asked to go to Europe for a fire festival to teach and perform on June 15-17, so i booked a ticket. But it has come to light that I am in a position to get funding from the arts council in newfoundland to do more then just the festival, and this is where you guys come in. Does anyone have any suggestion of who to look up, take classes with, learn from or spin with in Europe?? I have reached a plateau in the development of my hooping art, and it is time to refresh and collaboate with some other commited artists. I have to say, it is amazing how big hula hooping has become, I remember when i first started, there was hardly anything online, now there is this huge community. Its wonderful to see it florish. Thank you to all you people who have the patience to post online, and share your knowledge with others. The computer is really not one of my strong points, but its becoming very apperant that it is important to be online, even for local events.
So keep your eyes out for www.alleyoop.ca . Thanks for any help you might offer, and if anyone knows anything about pyrotechnics in Europe, i would love to have more info about that as well.
Keep living the circle magic
