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?

  • 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!
