[TrudiL13]

beautiful hoop dancing!



[nastynas9000]

Nice.



[sunnymj112]

Ahhaha .. I enjoy hula hooping alott .. Wish I cud do that . I love her smile thru the whole video xD

[pamBBB]

Omg!! I LOVE that ur hoop is a rainbow.



[pamBBB]

I must be watching this for the 5th time. I love how you smile the whole time, you look so peaceful, but I know that dancing has a great power to bring peace to those who are true to themselves while dancing.

[pamBBB]

phenomenal!! I can not even use my words to express how beautiful, fluid and fun this looks!!

[m3t4lb4b3]

amazinggggg and great song choice!!!!

[pranksterprince15]

yes! an example of what a female artist should be with her clothes ON. that may make me sound gay to some guys or girls. but i enjoy poi,staves, hoops, etc. for its beautiful art. sad to say too many girls think that them being half naked makes me wanna watch it. that being sad this girl is quite beautiful :). and her skills are amazing :D

[ooooooniki]

If I had to pick an absolute favorite hooping video, this would be it. Amazing job!!

[AlternativeRobbie]

Oooh my gosh, does this girl have a website or her own youtube account?! Uugh I love her styyyle so much.

[out2sea2010]

LOVE this. Want to punch every member of the crowd in the face though.

[mezobromelia]

Brilliant!

[MsCassandraSinister]

i love this video SO much.

[luckyloser89]

Wow woman! your a hoopin machine! Your perpetual spins were perfect. I learned a few of the dance moves I know from this video. Your beautiful and so graceful . Amazing Isolation as well. I don't understand why the people in the room don't have their jaws ajar, because you killed it. I would have clapped soooo loud it hurt

<3 Happy hooping!!

[geordiemilne]

just blew my mind!

[varishnikov]

Who is she? What is her name?

Hi! do you have some link to her space. Where can we watch more of her job? Thanks!

[stealyourface19]

1:45 to 1:53 is sweeet, howd you learn? lessons or youtube?

[Mingchan]

what's the name of this track? The melody is awesome...

[kreo124]

wow this is beautiful!

[naomipearl]

What is this song? I love it

[naomipearl]

she is amazing!!! gOosEbUmpS!!

[ladybluerose]

I wish there was someplace i could learn this in maryland. this is something to aspire to. so beautiful

[Alyssadawnt]

This is the hooper I aspire to be. :]

[FGSFDS]

Her moves are so fluid, and it's wonderful that she's smiling. I've seen so many performers fall flat just because they kept a straight face the whole time. It's kind of annoying that the crowd looks so bored, though. Great song choice, too. edIT is the shizzle :)

[nvsion]

pure genius! thank you

[circusgirlee]

This is totaly awsome!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER stop because your amazing!!!!! never let someone tell you to stop!!!!!!!:)

[ohxshizzzz]

This is incredible and everyone is talking and looks bored. i wanna hit them

[crazywildcard69]

Wow, I definately want to be this good. That is amazing. I'm getting off the computer right now, I'm going to hoop lol.

[paigina]

You have such great control with your flow. This is one of the first hooping videos I watched and I still find it inspiring now. definitely partly a style I'd like to work into my own. not completely, but I think it could be enhanced. :)

[junedeer]

I took a class with her in Boulder last month! she is an amazing woman!!! she lives in SF now though.

[yngbullwnohorns]

OMG she is dancing to eDIT this is EPICCC

[takethislife45]

she gets really good right when the music slows in the middle, you can see she truly loves to hoop and has the pasion that all the best hoopin mamas have- AWESOME KEEP HOOPIN MAMA!!

[radicallytubular]

pretty

[sensesublimity]

holy crap! The first time I saw this video i was so inspired! I been hooping for over a year now and i can actually break down some of the moves your doing!! NEVER thought that could happen. Now all i can do is hope to find my own personal style that is as free and captivating as you ;) THANK YOU!

[cryxinfinity]

So graceful.

[loracoon]

WOW I am amazed ! You look great and look like u're having a great time!

[creativecompanion]

what a beautiful art form...

[samberryshortcake]

oh my gosh you are the best hooper i've ever seen! so beautiful...

[maggieandmichelle]

[sweettweedia]

@maggieandmichelle 

[salsachameleon1]

Wow! That is my favorite hooping demo! <3

[thelipstickfemme]

I love this type of hooping. Work it Lady. Fluid Fluid and More Fluid. Love your planes, all are so straight. Work it.

[ThePlayPeople]

music is by edit. great album.

[gix10000]

what song is this?!!

[herestheskinny]

so beautiful.. i love it. i've been hooping for about a month now and i can't wait to be able to dance like this :)

[janetplanet73]

goodness gracious. Beautiful.

[esSDee29]

Youre simply amazing with the hoop.

What kind of hoop were you using?

[shessunshine]

This is absolutely amazing. I want to learn this so bad... I used to do hula hooping competitions when I was a little girl. I won tickets to a dinner theater several times. I held up 8 hoops when i was 10 years old till everyone else dropped theirs. I know I could do this with practice. Where in boulder is this place?

[jenldeleon]

amazing!! great performance 5 *

[KCnthehoop]

that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Awesome performance.

[Direness]

Eh, more towards the middle you were using it more, but I'd like to see futher emphasis. I think it would look so keen, especially when its obvious you're good.

[lcs43b]

@Direness dude she uses it with the music the whole time. thats why its so freakin good

[Direness]

When you don't use the music, it also gives a homogeneous look to the dance - which can bore your audience, no matter how impressed at first they were with a trick here & a trick there. Flow is important, especially in hoop dance, but learning when to HIT and break flow is important too, & the right music helps that. I watch vids of some dancers, and its obvious they're good - but I change to another vid because the flow lulls me to boredom. Someday I hope to be good enough to accomplish this.

[Direness]

I would've liked to see more musicality with this. You're a beautiful dancer, but there was so much with the music in breaks and emphasis that wasn't played with - its common in any dance to ignore the music in favor of getting in as many tricks and impressive moves as possible. Which is fine for a layman audience, but other dancers, even from other genres, will recognize what's happening.

[123twilightrox]

where do i sign up!?!? i want to learn!

[shimarella]

smooth!!!!

[harlequindiamonds]

god daaaamn thats so good, pretty much flawless.

[xXBloodStainsXx]

Im speechless!

this is the best hoop performance I've ever seen!

[lcs43b]

what is your hoop made of?

[jjainchill]

I STILL just cannot get enough of this...it is soooo rockin' awesome!!!

[TworlyGig]

Your transitions are so smooth. I can only hope to one day be this good :D

[domunique001]

I agree-this is the best performance i've seen that's not Elena Lev in Cirque Du Soleil! I want to get to this level! So feminine and elegant-it looks brilliant.

[feleleu1234]

simplesmente fantástica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solitaryhathor]

probably the best single hoop performance ive ever seen :) im inspired to work even harder

[roaringlizard]

YAY! Bravo! You look like you're having so much fun!! That makes it even more beautiful! Nice job!!

[panwilona]

what is the name of the song?

i love the video, super cool.

love hula hoop

[pvcjazzpants]

i love the pants,never seen any so flared and with such a high gloss shine to them, where did you get them?.

[bluemonkeychic3]

this girl has wonderful hoop energy and an unprecedented fluidity to her movements. i hope that one day i will be as good as her.

[veganhooper]

I could watch this video all day long. Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Incredible. The crowd is big time lame! They obviously have no idea of the skill involved. Beautiful dance! Thank you for sharing!

[amen4me]

@veganhooper they are mesmerized by her amazing execution

[iKickApples]

@veganhooper That is exactly what i was thinking! the crowd should be amazed! this girl has incredible tallent! They dont even know how lucky they are to be in the presance of such a Prodigy!

[davidjohnlover]

When I first saw this video I thought it seemed SOOOOO far out of reach, something I could NEVER do.

It inspired me so much, now I feel like it's something i can achieve eventually.

beautiful absolutely beautiful

[Groovinmegzz]

yes such an amazing goddess. one of my favorite videos!!! :)

[DizzyHips]

This is pretty nice work- why is the crowd so dead?

[Emday]

This is beautiful. You have a wide range of tricks and you execute them all with such control and fluidity. =D

[mandalula]

Look at the perfect one

At the Circle's center:

SHe spins and whirls like a golden compass,

Beyond all that is rational,

To show this dear world

[ForeverBeatZ]

This is absolutely amazing! I'm just starting with this art and I can only hope to be as beautiful and graceful as you someday. This truly is inspiring. You brought tears to my eyes!

[dianehelenmcintosh]

My absolute favourite hooping video. Just beautiful! Something to aspire to, gotta dream big! Question: did you choreograph this piece or are you just responding to the music as you go?

[BoBeena]

[busybeedogs]

Ok, I've finally added this one to my fave playlist so I don't have to look it up anymore :) No one should be able to have that much grace and fluidity. It's sick! Go Shakti! YOU ROCK!!!!!!

-Lana and the Busy Bee Dogs (always with our jaws dropped and mouths wide open with big fixated eyes)
