I was downtown yesterday afternoon and stumbled across a street fair called Sarasota Naturally. It was busy, which really wasn't surprising since Sarasotans typically are into all things green/natural. What was surprising was the above scene: hoop dance. I had never seen it before -- or heard of it, for that matter. Bonnie Brown was giving very cool demonstrations (which seemed to be a bit of a workout) and I couldn't help but notice she seemed quite happy, smiling the entire time. As it turns out, her business card says, "You simply cannot be unhappy while dancing with a hoop." Apparently, hoop dance is growing in popularity and she offers lessons. A group even gets together on Siesta Beach every Tuesday night at sunset --- and hoop dances. Who knew?! You can learn more on her website: www.outwardspiral.net.

Great action shot!!:)
I agree! You caught everything just at the right moment...the hoop, the hands, the hair the smile. Nice!
Ditto - a fun way to keep fit.
Very nice shot. Still a long way from Native hoop dances though!
Looks pretty comfortable compared to up here. Brrrrr.
I'd be smiling too if I had her flat tummy! It must work!

Like the action you caught in this. I tried hula hooping the other day and it seems I've lost my hooping ability :{
That is a fabulous shot of the action!
