Convergence ~ Movement towards Union

The mission of the Hoop Convergence is to bring hoopers from communities nationwide together to present their experience in a variety of areas including hoop crafting, movement techniques, performance, costuming, healing and therapeutic applications, teaching techniques, community building projects and social outreach to a wider circle of individuals passionate about the Hoop Movement.


We believe this convergence will be both educational and inspiring for individuals seeking to:

-cultivate flow through practice and dialogue with the circle
-enhance teaching curriculums for a variety of settings
-organize and promote community hoop events
-develop social outreach projects
-weave a web of relationships among hoop dancers
-polish performance skills
-sustain a hoop profession
-refine crafting skills
-learn about and ritualize the art of fire dance
-explore the mind-body-spirit connection through this revolving practice
-envision a revolution of peaceful, spiraling joy
-experience bliss
-assist with the organization of future convergences
-reflect on the evolution of hooping as a fun exercise, artform, spiritual practice and social movement
-inspire others through the sharing of your unique dance, voice and perspective

"The radii of a circle converge toward the center"

in revolving joy,
jewels
