Thanks a bunch. I knew willow trees have been used in the past by many Native American tribes but wasn't sure if Kevin Locke was using willow or not. I want to learn the hoop dance, but haven't been able to find any hoops that can hold up to the dance. I've went through a good many store bought plastic hoops, which simply cannot hold up to the speed and pressure caused when linking them together.

Anyone know what kind of hoops he's using?

Willow tree branches Kevin Locke forms into the loops. Hope that helps!

We saw Kevin today at our school - his message is amazing! And fit! This man could out-bounce all the middle school kids he had up to try dancing! Loved his nephew as well!

[Jrnmansuper6]

He came to my school today (OMS) and he did the easy part, the medium part, but he didn't do the hard part, because he wanted vualenteers to teach

This is a marvelously talented person. I have been lucky to be sitting with a bandmate after playing (with my college jazz band) at the Arizona State Fair, while he explained to me about hoop dancing. He'd grown up as a competitive grass dancer, and his lecture was eye-opening, about the Circle of Life and the interaction between the drum/singers and the dancer. What a marvelous artform! More people should get to see this to understand this sacred dance.

Excellent prayer my brother, walk in the truth and beauty of the Light!

Thank you for this video. I love Kevin Locke having seen him twice in very different venues. One in a living room with about 30 people, lost in his stories.... and another time performing the hoopdance with music and song. Both were electric with life and love.

[Freemasonry]

wow! I would get super dizzy!

The word YOGA is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj", i "to yoke" [to the spirit] meaning "union of the Individual Soul (Atman) with the Universal Soul (Brahman). Yoga embraces a wide range of disciplines whose ultimate goal is the joining of body, mind and spirit, a conscious unification into Oneness. Kevin Locke brings us all closer to the Oneness.

Kevin is simply fantastic and a gift to all he comes in contact with.
