this is so amazing. I look up to you so much! I always watch one of your vids before practicing! They are so motivating! :)

[LadyPirate]

absolutely beautiful and full of emotion wonderfully interpreted from the music

[Aubr3ylee]

could you tell me what diameter your hoop is and what size tubing you use? I have always used heavier hoops but would like to experiment with one your size. I really like the way it moves.

oh, and you are absolutely beautiful.

[ShpongledHoops]

I think my hoop's diameter is about 42inches, but I'm really not sure. It's bigger than you'd think. And it is very light...I have barely any tape...just the white parts of the hoop are tape and it's electric tape. It's 3/4 inch gauge. Thanks for your interest :)

[Ardnaxela101]

Stunning! Beautiful! A real inspiration. Can I ask what weight that hoop is? It looks very light.

[ShpongledHoops]

I think my hoop's diameter is about 42inches, but I'm really not sure. It's bigger than you'd think. And it is very light...I have barely any tape...just the white parts of the hoop are tape and it's electric tape. It's 3/4 inch gauge. Thanks for your interest :)

[WhirlWind729]

you definitely are a work of art.

[BlueTornado8]

Definitely one of my favourite hoop-videos. You look like a black fairy dancing herselve to trance. :)

[therrealdarkwing]

can i ask your permition to use this video in a class of what performance is???

[ShpongledHoops]

absolutely! please do, and tell me how it goes :)

[therrealdarkwing]

all went very well!!! thankyou very much!!! xoxo... sorry for my bad english.. there is very rusty...

[Hoopdance420]

I will let you know when I find out where I will be located over the next coming months. Probably WI or Co. Ever hear of Harvest Fest in Minnesota? Your performing art is quite amazing, and I will keep in touch in the hope of meeting you one day down the path.

[kerekesandrea]

You are amazing... Are you coming anywhere near Kansas City during your trip????

[ShpongledHoops]

I might be traveling near kansas city. I will definitely be keeping everyone posted on my whereabouts this fall

[Hoopdance420]

Where are you located? I love how each of your performances is different depending on the music. Rare for hoopers. I am trying to get up to date videos of my hooping so I can begin to gain creative networks of artists such as yourself

[ShpongledHoops]

I was living in Burlington VT, but now I am southern ME...but only for another month. I will be going on a cross country trip in the fall/winter! During that time I hope to meet new Hoop Dancers and exchange ideas/techniques. where r u located?

[kimraymidwife]

Thank you so much for posting this video. You are one of the most sensual spinners I have ever seen. I especially enjoyed the final spin, the arm placement was gorgeous

[aiwa1988]

beautiful, love it :)

[mfslicks]

i enjoyed this on so many levels...love the art merging. good job. i hope you explore more like this, could really be fabulous.

liked the 60s happening feel too. more!

[totallycrunchy]

beautiful!! just stunning. Thank you for sharing!

[travisbowe89]

Do you have a facebook with all your videos on it as well. You really should share your artwork with as many people as possible. Your the reason I enjoy hooping now and you got me hooked on dubstep. Especially shpongle and benga

[ShpongledHoops]

Thanks for all your kind words! I do have my videos up on facebook too :) but not all of them

[OhNoo74]

Wahooo! As always stunningly brilliant! xxx

[Groovinmegzz]

[chewbobington]

[wilippu]

[ljaremka]

[kayetech]

[feandin]

Take care anyways..

[laylaanne]

i really love watching you dance, thankyou for sharing your gifts, beautiful. x

[Cali7137]

amazing as always Mona! I'm glad you figured out the spiral and I'm psyched you were able to tape it and share it with the world! Did your professor finally come around? If this isn't art I don't know what is

[ElenaNic0Le]

this is beautiful mona... beautiful.

[arseny]

This is so surreal. My mind is blown every time I watch it. I get so whacked out when you're doin the isolations and cocking your head to the side. Your movement, as usual, is mesmerizing. And the creativity of the setting is nothing short of amazing.

Keep 'em comin!!
