Hi! Posting again to request feedback for a place to hold a weekly hoop jam in Honolulu. I just got here from the Big Island and am still figuring out this busy city. Kaka'ako, Ala Moana beach park or UH? Anyone know of available studio space or anyone teaching hoop dance classes? I can bring extra hoops and music. Love to get this going!

Wed, January 23, 2008 - 8:45 PMaloha and welcome! once upon a time, we were hooping on sunday evenings at queen's beach. it was a lovely time - and many other fire performers would show up to practice also. i am not too sure if people are still doing this. i would definitely be up for coming out again on sunday evenings.

Wed, January 23, 2008 - 11:18 PMYep - sundays, but it wasn't too late... say 4:00 till a little after sundown. That would work for me.
We also have fire Jam on Monday nights and folks can hoop there too, but it's dark and hard to learn, but fun to hoop to the music.
Most folks have a hoop, but extras are always great. and music is the best! keep us updated.
Oh, the issue with UH is no parking!! so finding a place like a beach with parking is great. Queen's worked well for that too. -

Thu, January 24, 2008 - 10:43 PMThanks, you two. Okay, Sundays it is. I'll go check out Queen's beach this weekend so I can get this jam going in February. Hopefully I'll be able to make it this Monday to the fire spinning - it's hard right now at night with the little one. Thanks again for the feedback.

Sat, February 9, 2008 - 6:26 PMUpdate! I ran into a girl who used to Hoop with us - she now continues to train with the acrobats at Queen's beach. She said they still meet weekly on Sundays at 5:00pm - she told me with a pout that we (the hula-hoopers) just stopped coming and that we should join them again. So we are welcome back with them with open arms. :) -

Sun, February 10, 2008 - 2:37 PMSweet! I'm still getting used to this new city, so I'd love to meet at Queen's beach at 5pm. The night fire jam is too late for me and my little tike right now. Thanks for the info. -

Mon, February 18, 2008 - 12:13 AMI didn't read any of these postings until just now but I actually emailed ellen earlier this week about returning hoop group back to its glory days, back to the pseudo circus atmosphere it once was.. today at the beach it was so beautiful to see all the hoopers converge with the acrobats and jugglers and poi people grooving to the music. Ancelyn and her familiy's bright new energy, Vron's v-ron-y v-ron-yness and, Susie, where did she magically reappear from? wonderful energy floating around! I'm so happy to have our collective desires to bring hoop group back manifested just the way it did. Sweet day, i'm delighted to have shared it with those who came and hope this continues so well on a regular basis! -
