track of the week

Madonna: Hard Candy

This week's hoop track is from Madonna's newly released album "Hard Candy." It's called "Give It To Me" and it's fun, bouncy and incredibly hoopable. We've added the album version to our Hoop Sounds listening station up top. You can check the track out as well as a Paul Oakenfold remix - and download them for yourself on iTunes by clicking:

"The Matrix"

Tonight down at the Monday Night Circus Hoop on Venice Beach, Kandice showed off a new trick she's been working on (330KB .mpg). I'd never seen anything like it! We called it "The Matix," since it's almost like bullet-time hooping! (Apologies for the crappy video quality. That's the best my camera can do. Oh well.)

Comments

That's so cool you can put a little video on the net just like that. Her trick was awesome! I'm so glad I got to meet you guys--you're all so good! It rubbed off on me a bit...I feel like I made quite a bit of progress on my own stuff. Oh and thanks for emailing me those pics. I'll get mine going tomorrow :)

:fall on floor in awe:

I came up with this one during a firedancing practice one wonderful night on the beach. The trick is to practice with a 'chubby' hoop (a two-person hoop) first, then move into the smaller ones. I call it the "duck, tuck, and roll-around".

I had the pleasure of hooping with Kandice tonight at Venice Beach where we met for a fire hoop workshop. While we were warming up, she showed us "The Matrix." Amazing! I looked for the video here on hooping.org but it doesn't seem to be available any longer. Anyone still have a copy on their hard drive that they'd be willing to repost, or just email directly to me? I'd LOVE to see it again. xOxOs and hOOPs!
