Hula-hooping Made ExtremeI

While I was in Manila, I was fortunate enough to jam with the ladies of Hoopnation Philippines in Orange Studios. A good friend and photographer Derrick Ian Lim of Imagination Photography decided to drop by and some hooping photographs. Little did we know that this group shot he took would appear in Philippine Airline's inflight magazine- Mabuhay. A lovely surprise thanks to fellow hooper- Michelle Callo.

Learn the art of hula-hooping but with a cool twist at Hoopnation Philippines. Learn to hoop with your legs, arms, neck, toes, and other body parts. Take hooping to another level by mixing it  with rhythmic gymnastics, freestyle dance, hip-hop, twirling, or setting your hoop of fire for some wicked fire dancing. www.facebook.com/groups/hoopnation
