Lyra at it's best.

This is a stunningly beautiful Lyra routine by Elena Gatilova. I don't really need to say any more. Watch and gasp at the elegance, flexibility and strength of this lady.

Not a hula hoop, but still circular - Spiral

Spiral is a lady I first starting following because of a video of her hooping at a festival. She was so in the moment, whilst the world just happened around her. I just watched the video over and over. Spiral has many talents other than being a fantastic hooper. You will see her aerial skills in this video. She makes some stunningly beautiful shapes between her body and the Lyra. Enjoy!



My friend Simon used to have a big hoop crush on Spiral. I wonder if he still does. I haven't seen him in a long while.

So you wonder, what is it that Tilly Twist does?

Well Tilly Twist hoops, juggles, spins poi, fans, acrobalance, acroyoga, staff, choreography, clowns... She has an awfully long list of talents. I thought I'd show you some of her hooping/acrobalance skills today with this video of Tilly and Hobbit Hoop. Two of the nicest people you'll ever hope to meet and together they perform under the name of The Pantaloonies.





No wonder Performers Without Borders picked Tilly to be the coordinator for the 2012 trip to India. With so many talents she is sure to shine at cat herding too (because anyone that has tried to organise a travelling group of people before knows that's what it's like). Good Luck and have lots of fun in India Tilly!

Aerial Hoop

I just got sent a link to this by You Tube and had to share it with you. Alexandra Royer's aerial hoop routine is one of the best I have seen... and I've watched loads.



I hope you enjoyed it too.
