Welcome, Florida hoopers! If you are looking to connect with other area hoop dancers, then you've come to the right place. Abby from Hoola Monsters is the moderator of this group (based in the Tampa Bay area). Feel free to check out Hoola Monsters for events, classes and workshops in Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater and the surrounding areas. We often host visiting hoop dancers from all over the US, too, which helps to expand our knowledge and grow the Sunshine State hoop dance community. In the past, we've hosted Baxter from The Hoop Path, Brecken from Oakland, Anah from LA, and HoopGirl from San Francisco. We have also organized the World Premiere of "The Hooping Life" documentary at the Sarasota Film Festival. We invite you to stay informed by connecting with us here!

Comment by kaili on April 23, 2013 at 6:14pm I'm in west palm, near royal palm. I don't really know any other hoopers and I am totally new to hooping

I'm in Fort Lauderdale... I know it's kinda a trek for most of you florida hoopers but Sunfest in West Palm Beach is coming up soon. I plan to make it out there Friday and Saturday and hopefully there will be a few hoopers there.
