Finding Hoop Community Groups and Links
Finding Flow Friends
Other hula hoopers, spinners, flow artists
Sometimes we need a little help from our friends…or need to find some that share our common interests. Here’s some ideas to get you started:
Hooper Hookups–Facebook Group/Page and online recommendations from world-wide to city specific example:
♦ Hooping.org
♦ Fab♥ Over Forty Hoop Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/649559225124084/
♦ The Spin Summit
♦ Colorado Hoopers https://www.facebook.com/groups/coloradohooper/
♦ Denver Hula Hoop Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/133467753299/
Check out the Community Links at http://hipthehoopla.com/events-community/
♦ Also check out hooping in your community…Google where you are at
♦ Search on Facebook
♦ Check out hoop forums
♦ Craigslist sometimes has events, teachers, or hoop makers listed
♦ Meetup.com can be helpful
You might try some of these “keywords” helpful to search for:
Hoops, Hula Hoops, Hooping, Hoopers, Jam, Classes, Instructors, Teachers, Props, Flow Community, Flow Artists, Spinners, Burners, Fire Dancers, Circus Arts
Whatever your method(s) you choose to find your flow buddies will be very helpful to you and your growth, plus you can share what you know, as well–Win/Win! Finding others in the community will increase your learning experience exponentially by exposing you to new things to try. Now go find your people! You’ll discover you aren’t so weird or alone in your process.
Good luck and happy hooping!
