It has been a dream of mine to create an improvesational Hoop language roughly based on and inspired by the leader/group improve concepts of American Tribal Style Belly Dance. As far as I know, this has not been done before, but let me know if I'm incorrect.
My goal is to create a thorough set of rules, cues, moves, and transitions inspired from ATS, so that many hoopers can dance together. Like in ATS, there is an interchangable leader who cues moves and combos; communicating with a secret hoop language. LIke ATS there is also room/time for solos, different numbers of performers, and it can be done to any music!
Here's a little glimpse of some stuff the Ritzy Rouge hoop troupe has been working on lately. Its a rough little early practice, and we have a lot more, but I wanted to share so here it is:

If there is enough interest, I will start posting an ATS Hooping Tutorial series on UTube, where we'll teach basic moves and cues, and break down combinations. Just say "Yes"!LOL

    I'm an ATS dancer and a hooper now, too, and I've thought that group improve would be a lot of fun in hooping. I started hoop classes with my ATS teacher as a fellow student, but she hasn't been able to keep up (due to other commitments) so I haven't explored this any further. I love that you're doing this!
