I've just come across this video on YouTube. It's beautiful. Very theatrical with a mime-like quality. I thought you might also like to see it.

Re: Christine - Hula Hoop (Theatrical Dance)
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 3:02 PMI really liked this Sue. Lots of dance but also lots of tricks and yet not too "circus-y". A very nice balance of each. Her style is also very crisp and clean. I especially enjoyed the isolation stuff at the beginning and the point where she had her twins rolling across alternate shoulders like a flowing river of hoops. Really neat. Thank you for sharing this.
Just yesterday I was looking for interesting burlesque hoop videos. I didn't really find any. Most people are just content to strip while hooping and integrate very little dance or anything interesting hoop-wise. This is much closer to what I was looking for. Something theatrical and evocative. Thanks again for pointing me to this hooper. I can't wait to see more of her performances! We should get her on Tribe! -

Tue, June 3, 2008 - 7:27 PMI enjoyed the way she took her time. Much of the circus hooping I've seen seems kind of forced or hurried. I liked the pacing of it. And damn, she has some amazing moves. Much to learn.

Thu, July 24, 2008 - 9:40 AM*bump* The move at around 2:30 where she moves the hoop down her body in a falling motion---- baffling. -
