Hoop Dance Classes @ Euphoria Studios

Have you seen the Coen Brothers mid 90’s classic The Hudsucker Proxy? If not, I’ll quickly fill you in. The plot line involves a simpleminded (is “slow” a better euphemism?) young man played by Tim Robbins hired as a stooge for a big money stock scandal. Instead he ends up inventing one of the biggest consumer crazes of the century: the hula hoop (not based on a true story, btw). Anyhow, the result of watching this movie is that I can’t see a hula hoop now with without picturing the scene where Tim Robbins pitches his idea to the company board by drawing a circle on a notepad.

Hudsucker Proxy aside, the art of hula hooping seems to be enjoying a renaissance of sorts these days. In Portland, at least. There’s even a hula troupe in town called the Whirly Girls (sp?). And now you can learn how to be an expert yourself with the hoop by signing up for Hoop Dance Classes at Euphoria Studios! Learn basic moves to advance tricks. All levels are welcome.
