Hi, my friends are putting on a show in Lowell next month and said I could hoop there. We're thinking of building some dance podiums to hoop on. Anyone have an idea of the dimensions? Obviously want to be tall enough to not hit someone's head. Thanks!

2' won't make waist hooping sail above the heads of most people. Just measure your hips to the floor and add 2'. But it could mean that shoulder tricks and such go over them. Naturally knee hooping is a bit out. Alternatively, you could build a 4' cube which would put your waist over most people's heads.
