The Master plan:
A flashmob, starting at the Level at 12pm. We will run through the dance first, for those of you who haven’t had a chance to practice yet, then rock it out all together! Hoops in hand and feel good tunes blasting we will hoop to Pavilion Gardens where we break out into the WHD dance again, then onto Churchill Square where will explode into the dance again! Final stop (weather permitted) will be the beach where we can jam out.
What to wear and bring:
Let your imagination run wild and release your inner hoop star! We are thinking wigs, glitter, leg warmers and neon bright colours topped off with oodles of fun and energy. BUT PLEASE BE WARM PEOPLE! Leggings for the win :)
BYO hoop(s) – I will have some spares for passersby to join in, but if need me to bring you one, please let me know in advance. And if you have a few hoops you’re willing to share, bring them along!
BYO food and water - hooping is FUN but it's also super energetic, so make sure you're well fed and watered people!

The Background Facts:
World Hoop Day is a worldwide celebration and a hula hoop charity fundraiser with one of the main WHD activities being the World Hoop Day Dance. The World Hoop Day charity was founded by Hoopin’ Annie in 2006 and we are thrilled to support her by taking part in this related event. For more information on World Hoop Day

The Dance:

Here are the choreography notes. The notes include lyrics, counts and details that should help us all perfect the dance at home.

And for your home rehearsals… here is a downloadable version of the video and an audio file
http://www.mediatinker.com/blog/2011/09/07/WHDance2011-Counts.mp3 that features Tink counting out the moves over the music. This means we can practice the dance individually and ensure that our whole hoop troupe are perfectly in sync on the day…5,6,7,8… (We also have The Safety Dance MP3 (2.6 MB) without the narration.)

The Charity;
We have decided that all donations and money that we raise before the event will be donated to Spark Circus. (any suggestions of money making tactics would be much appreciated!)
SPARK! is a group of spectacular international volunteer circus performers who come together to bring joy to groups of disadvantaged children in refugee camps, migrant schools, hospitals and orphanages along the Thai Burmese border.
They touch the lives of over 4,000 children each year with circus-style fire shows, playshops and donations of toys, art supplies, and creative tools. Their goal is to lighten their days with magic, wonder, laughter and smiles. SPARK! is completely volunteer based, and relies entirely on generous donations and community support.

So come on hoopers, Lets show Brighton how hooping awesome we are! All levels are welcome and if there are any parts of the dance you think you currently can't do, we can definately teach you before the big day
Much Love
The Coordinators of World Hoop Day Brighton
