World Hoop Day Hula Hoop Play Party

You can hula hoop!   

FaeRings and Maia's Every Body Hoops will be hosting a hooping awareness play party for kids of all ages. No hooping experience necessary, we will teach you. We will have plenty of hoops to share but if you have your own please bring them along. You are also welcome to bring along an acoustic instrument for an informal jam/drum circle for people to hoop to.  Good will donations to worldhoopday.org will be accepted but aren't required.

From WorldHoopDay.org:
"The mission of World Hoop Day is to bring joy through the importance of play to children around the world. The benefits of playing with a hoop include having a fit, leaner body with a stronger core and leaner muscles. Hooping improves self-confidence, inner peace, contentment and relieves depression."
"Every year on an international, easy-to-remember date World Hoop Day volunteers invite their communities to share in the vision of creating a more peaceful world through play and giving back. Goals of World Hoop Day’s annual event are to recruit new hoopers through teaching lessons of hoop making and dance, sharing of music, food, games and laughter, and raising funds to distribute hoops to as many individuals in the world as possible."

Come on out and play!
