Hoop Dance

public - created 06/16/07
~A tribe based in Carrboro/Chapel Hill with global intentions~

Throughout time, various cultures have developed disciplines, or practices, that train the mind, strengthen the body, provide opportunity for greater understanding, facilitate communion, and create meaning for individuals and collective humanity. Hooping has become a discipline for many, similar to a yoga, meditation, dance, music or martial arts practice. The combination of exploring rhythm and symbolism, developing core strength, sustaining circular and spiraling movements, spinning, reaching out to the community and expressing oneself artistically have made hooping an inspiring and transforming practice or discipline for many (certainly for me.)

This tribe, I hope, will be a place to discuss various dimensions of the hoop movement including the dance, therapeutic & healing applications, philosophical & spiritual theories, community building and outreach. I hope that we can share inspiring stories, prose, flowetry, ideas, insights and reflections. I also hope this may be a home for those of us who are trying to positively affect the world through hope, smiles, fun, joy & bliss.

This tribe is based in Carrboro, NC and will hopefully become a place to connect my students, community members and fellow hoopers. Whether you enjoy hooping for fitness, play or a spiritual practice in NC or abroad, feel free to join in discussions or come dance with us...

in joy, health and peace,
Julah Hoop Flow*er
(as in 'the hoop flow')

Dancing to remember
that every moment has the potential
of beautiful and expansive blossoming…
