Twistin Vixens Hoop Dance Class in Brainerd

Back in January we received an email from a woman in Brainerd, MN asking if we would be willing to come up and teach her and some friends how to hoop dance. We jumped at the chance. On Saturday we gathered up all of our hoops and headed north. We met four women in theContinueContinue reading “Twistin Vixens Hoop Dance Class in Brainerd”

New Collapsable HDPE Hula Hoops

Up until now we’ve been constructing all of our hoops with basic black Polyethylene (PE) irrigation tubing that we purchased locally from the hardware store.

Hula Hooping with Heatbox at the Rox

Saturday night we had the awesome opportunity of performing on stage with Heatbox and special guest Nicolas Mrozinski of The Feelin Band at the Rox nightclub. It was a super fun crazy night! Heatbox packed the bar with about 350 people. Not a bad audience for a couple of brand new performers. We received lots ofContinueContinue reading “Hula Hooping with Heatbox at the Rox”

Hoop Dance Costumes and Clothing

Freaky fun outfits and hoop dance go together like peanut butter and jelly. But because hoop dance hasn’t quite hit the mainstream, it is hard to find fashion that is specifically tailored to hooping. There are some people out there making beautiful hand-made clothing specifically for hoopers, but that can get a little expensive. IContinueContinue reading “Hoop Dance Costumes and Clothing”
