Tutorial of the Week

Track of the Week

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 found your site via a comment one of my readers left on my blog. You might want to make a comment yourself to promote your site. It was a photo from the Cirque du Soleil, but people apparently picked up on the benefits of hula hooping for health! Quite funny actually. Anyway, I'm always interested to come across new web sites and yours is quite good.

I came across this site while looking for resources for an article I'm writing on hula hooping for fitness. I'd love to contact Philo Hagen for an interview, but there is no email address or phone number listed, and my computer won't allow me to click on "Contact us" to send email. Is there any way you can post the contact info on the site? Thanks so much!
