Will The Hula Hooping Obamas Make It Hip?

hooping obamas Vicky Hallett, Fitness Columnist for The Washington Post, is wondering if the hooping Obama family will make hooping hip. Apparently she doesn't know that it already is! She writes, "Barack Obama has made no secret of his love for shooting hoops. But you may be surprised to learn that Michelle Obama is apparently more comfortable spinning them. She was photographed at her daughter Malia's birthday picnic last year showing off a few tricks. ... Word of Michelle's skills has the hooping community buzzing, particularly in Washington, where several instructors have been recently certified by Hoopnotica, a California-based group that has standardized ways to teach moves. And just about all hooping enthusiasts are waiting for that invitation to get together on the East Lawn. "I've created this daily vision of me hooping with Michelle, Malia and Sasha," says Jocelyn Gordon. The article also talks to Noelle Powers, Tina Bauch and Martine Koissy. As previously reported, Barack has called Michelle the best hooper he knows. The post article also references Hooping.org so if Michelle or Malia or Sasha are reading, we couldn't be more excited! Full article with the photographic evidence: The Washington Post
