Things You'll Need:
- Hoops
-
Step 1
Use colorful hoops so that they can be easily seen by the audience. You can even get glow-in-the-dark hoops or light up hoops for a special effect.
-
Step 2
Have dancers use the hoops to create various shapes. Pair the dancers with one dancer standing behind another dancer with her hoop held high. The dancer in front can hold her hoop low. Play with different shapes such as a vertical and horizontal figure 8.
-
Step 3
Create a large circle. Have dancers hold each other's hoops instead of holding hands. They can also do a ripple bringing the hoops in and out of the circle.
-
Step 4
Do tricks in the hoop dance routine such as hula hooping around the neck, waist, arms and feet. Have dancers jump over the hoops or dive roll through the hoops. Spin or twirl the hoops on the floor for a different level in your dance routine.
-
Step 5
End the hoop dance routine in a large but tightly packed group. Have each dancer hit a pose utilizing the hoop. This creates an interesting shape and also makes for a great picture.
