hooping to James McMurtry's St. Mary of the Woods

Okay, this might not be the most hoop-friendly song, but I seriously love this song, and even though the hoop goes flying several times and my pants are kinda falling down, I like the moments of flow in this dance. I took this on a whim after a morning of too much work on the computer and way too much coffee.

Fabulous and such an inspiration! I'm dying to know the diameter on that hoop...

Thanks for sharing this.

@jkriess5 Thanks for your kind comment. My hoops are about 31" in diameter.

That is a rare talent, compliments!!! The mistakes only makes it more real and impressive! Really, great stuff!!

Watching this again after a long time and I just have to laugh every time the hoop goes flying, it's so comical. So typical of my practice that my most blissful moments are punctuated by strikes to my ear and the hoop shattering against the wall. Watching it though, I can still "feel" how good it felt to move that day.

OMG! I think I'm in LOVE!!!!

I was writing a blog entry about Foley Hall at St.Mary of the Woods College that I attended in 1969. I wanted to find a song about Smwc and found this video and song by James McMurtry. I am so impressed by your performance. I have watched the other hoop performances and this is my favorite. It is incredible how your subtle movements make the hoop glide. It actually is a perfect song for hooping in my opinion. Thank you for sharing this.
