Michelle Obama: Hula Hooper


While we've heard about Michelle Obama hooping and have seen a couple of photos, here's the first video proof taken at the Healthy Kids Day fair she hosted on the White House lawn in Washington, DC. 142 revolutions is great for a kids hoop. Imagine how well she would have done if she'd had a proper adult-sized hoop.

There is opportunity here for someone to be the First Lady's hoop teacher. ^__^
Offering her an adult-sized hoop would be a wonderful ice-breaker....

  Track of the Week


future disco volume 3sub swara

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:

Call

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:
