New Paltz Hoops

This club would allow both seasoned hoopers and those who would like to learn how to and more about hula-hooping and hoop-dance to merge, meet, and inspire. The idea is to meet once or twice a week in an open area. During the warmer months meetings could be held on the Old Main Quad; When its colder out, in the gym or MPR. Members of the hoop club would be taught how to make their own hoops to fit their size and style of hooping, music would be shared, tutorials given, new tricks and concepts explored. Members of "New Paltz Hoops" could practice new moves participate in "playshops" and choreography with a grand hoop-jam finale. A New Paltz hoop club would invigorate students to exercise in a playful way, to express themselves through dance, to improve their skill and meet new people. I envision possible community outreach through the club, teaching youngsters, and those physically and mentally disabled how to hoop and donating hoops. I envision charity Hoop-a-thons and contests...the possibilities are endless!
