Two weeks ago I took a very unplanned break from hooping. I was mugged and ended up with a head injury and a hairline skull fracture. Simply walking around was bad enough at first, but I've been healing so quickly I decided to meet up with Bay Area Hoopers at Potrero del Sol on Sunday. We chose the location hoping it would bring the sun that was most definitely missing. It was great to be hooping again, even if I did end up quitting early and heading home dizzy and nauseous.
One of our favorite tracks from the new Future Disco Vol. 3 is by Ilija Rudman and it's "Call Me Tonight (Greg Wilson Version). We really get lost while hooping to this one and it gets better with every listen. It's on the Hoop Sounds iPod below and download it and more "Future Disco" for yourself on iTunes by clicking:
Then we're going Sub Swara with "Koli Stance" - the David Starfire Remix - from Sub Swara's Coup d'Yah, Vol. 3 (Remixes). We've uploaded it so listen on the iPod and download it on iTunes by clicking:

I live in SF and have begun hooping.
I have a couple of hoops, and I have some basic skills. Many of my friends spin poi or the staff. But no one hoops!!! I would love to meet others who can teach and inspire me.
Are there any gatherings coming up? How might I find out about them? Are there any classes that you're aware of?Thanks!

The Bay Area Hoopers meet every week or two, and while it's not a class by any means, it's a great way to go and play and pick some things up. Check out the event calendar for the next BAH group hoop!
