Hoopstravaganza Had Everybody Hooping
In Springvale, Maine, The Journal Tribune reports that young and old made their way to the Nasson Community Center for Hoopstravaganza! – the center’s inaugural hooping event, with some juggling as well. Miranda Migneault, age 9, told the reporter that the rhythmic action of hooping “calms me down.” Instructor Tracy Tingley of Hardcore Hooping of Portland said she teaches hooping in the schools, at the YMCA in Portland, at Portland Adult Education and in the corporate world. “I’m on a mission to get people moving and having fun,” said Tingley, whose 70-year-old mother Joan teaches hooping in Belfast. “It burns calories and makes you lean and strong.”
