“Hoop-Dancing” is a new performance fitness craze that has been sweeping the country. It combines the beauty of dancing with the timeless enjoyment of hula hooping and both the visual and the physical results are nothing less than “hoopnotic.”
Now hoop dancers are giving back to the community. Wednesday September 9th marks the third anniversary of World Hoop Day, World Hoop Day is dedicated to providing children in poverty and underdeveloped neighborhoods with dance, exercise, and toy hoops.
Though providing children with toys may not seem like a major charitable contribution, the World Hoop Day website says that “there are many aid organizations who provide food and medical relief, but what about the mental welfare of a child who grows up too quickly and hardly has a reason to smile or play or just be a child?”
Hoop Day Ambassadors are currently traveling all over the world bringing hoops to children living in poverty. You yourself can contribute to the cause by donating as little as five dollars to provide a child in need with their very own hoop.
