Playing with Off Body Beat Punctuation to Huevos

First let me give props to this musician. His name is Huevos, which means Eggs, and my friend Eric ran across him making music at a cafe in Guatamala. Eric is taping his music and putting it on YouTube. You can find another great song by him here: http://www.youtube.com/user/estonephoto#play/uploads/9/y4qsysM956I

I am told he has at least one cd out. Once Eric gets back to Guatamala I should be able to get more info on that and him. I really like his music -- music, lyrics and vocals, all of it. It's just a tasty 1940's style -- and as part of my bid to use my practice videos to introduce other hoopers to the music of unsigned or local artists, I dedicate this, my first video with this intention to Huevos. Don't you just love this song!?! Support this artist! I will share more info on him soon.

In this video I am practicing punctuating breaks and beats in the music with punctuation in my dance. I stayed completely off the body, which wasn't really my intention, but I think it works. I did a pretty good job of speeding up when the song speeds up, slowing down when it slows down and landing on the beat (with the exception of the very beginning when I was running from the stereo to the dance space!) I'll probably do another video to this song too. I want to do a fire hoop to it but I couldn't resist sharing this. I hope you like it. And Huevos, you rock!!!! I hope you get to see this one day!

Very good! Where can you get a hula hoop exactly like that one?

[Caroleeena]

I made that hoop. It's made with Silverline Flexi-pipe (which is my favorite kind of tubing). The diameter of the tubing is 1/2 inch and the weight is 100 psi. I do make and sell hoops This one is $40 plus shipping or you can craft your own. If you'd like me to make you one, drop me a note and I'll hook you up!

The collective concsiousness of the hoop community always amazes me. I take time off from watching videos to go out and play, finding my journey going in a totally different direction....feeling like I was doing something new...and then I saw your video! You are doing a lot of the same play I do, and inspired me with some new ways to manipulate the hoop. Thank you so much for sharing!
