After a four hour class with Deanne from Hooplovers, Tracey, Amanda and I had built up enough energy to hoop some more. We headed to the square in Kabukicho, where the homeless men hang out, and hooped there for an hour before finally heading off to dinner.
I don't think people hoop there too often, so we attracted a lot of attention. It was fun to have an audience and many photos were taken. Even better was an audience who interacted with us. One professorial but slightly crazy guy spoke at me about America for at least ten minutes; it was good listening practice. Two cute Chinese girls came over to play and take pictures. One of the homeless guys wanted to try the hoop, but was more interested in getting us to perform for him. An entire family joined in and played wit the hoops. It was a good time for everyone.
We shot the video intending to study our form as we practiced, but it was just too good not to edit a bit and share.
This video is so awesome! Fun, fun, FUN times yesterday. I think I have my first ever hooping hangover. My spirits are way up, but my body is REALLY aching today. Abs, back muscles, legs... definitley got a good work out yesterday. Thanks for sharing this video, and for sharing the love of hooping with me!!!!

Too Fun! I saw someone hula-hooping at my neighborhood park last night, while riding a long-board no less, and had to think of you.
Cool! Looks like y'all had fun. I like the song, too. I wonder if it's on US iTunes.
Wow, im totally impressed! 4 hr class.... Im so jealous! You gals all look like you were having a great time. Ive gotta find a class near me!!!
I love this SO much!
Very often? I don't think people hoop there at all.
You make me smile SO much, this is the coolest.
I LOVE the guy who casually walks up to the hoops, shrugs, picks it up and naturally whips it with ease! ha ha
