Maybe ask if you and do some test runs with the paint on. Nothing special, just get a couple strips of color on you and hoop for a while. Ask if he's done any work with painting dancers for performances, see if you can get that paint or whatever used on your troupe.

mmm yeah agreed, the only way to be 100% sure is to test it and see what exactly what will happen.

I've done it and it's a challenge, especially if you start to sweat. They have a setting spray that you can get at Sephora. I highly recommend investing in that. I'm told Ben Nye has one also. Our paint was all black and white paint for a Maori inspired fire photo shoot and video on/in the Dan River. The artist was Scott Fray of LivingBrush. It was an incredible experience. Good luck with yours. And stay warm!

Moon River! Hahahaha!

Once the paint is dry is shouldnt rub off too easily, but once you start sweating Im not sure how it will be. Good advise to test it if possible.

Cant wait to see photos/videos!
