After having such a fabulous time last year, our group will be hooping in the NY Dance Parade again this year. Everyone is welcome to join us and there is no minimum level of hoopdance experience that is required. Just come prepared for a fun afternoon with a friendly and welcoming group of hoopers! Families and children are also welcome. Based on everyone's votes, our costume theme will be the 1950s, paying tribute to the decade that brought the hula hoop into American pop culture! If you RSVP here, please be sure to message me through Facebook with your email address, or email me via www.fitnotic.com so I have your email address and can be in touch as necessary.

Below is some information about the parade's course and the schedule for the day:

After gathering between 22nd and 21st between Park and Fifth Avenue, the Parade will kick off at 1pm. Then we will boogie our way down Broadway in history of dance order! We’ll drum up some African beats, shine like only the Korean, Bolivians and multiple ethnic cultures can and Irish step our way past Union Square and into University Place. At Eighth Street we will Salsa, Tango and Waltz East into Saint Marks Street. Pause to hula, stilt and break dance in front of a review Grandstand in Astor Place--Then our House, Techno and Disco floats will have afternoon shoppers wigglin as they watch us get down in the heart of the East Village. A straight shot from there brings us to DanceFest in Tompkins Square Park. At DanceFest we will come together and celebrate watching free dance performances, be able to take free dance lessons and enjoy a Dance Party.
