Summer Time Fun

~The Community Drum Circle and Hoop la Moves to the West Columbia Riverwalk~

The summer Gathering of drummers, dancers, and frolicking crazy fun peeps will commence every Friday at the WC River Walk, Cayce side of Gervais Street bridge. Bring your chair and grab a friend to relax, unwind, and give your music or hoop spinning a try. Everyone is welcome and extra hoops and drums are usually available. It's a family friendly event, so no excuses! Hope to see you there!

New Summer Schedule

Well, our South Carolina summer is in full swing and heating up. The highs have crossed the hundred mark a couple times, so we are pushing back Tuesday hooping to 7:30 until 9:00 pm to avoid to worst of the heat. We are still meeting on Tuesdays at Finley park in the grass near the stage (if it's raining, we'll be under the stage). Friday's Community Drum Circle will now be starting at 7:00pm and running until 8:30 at the West Columbia Riverwalk in the grass behind the old New Orleans Restaurant. We always bring extra hoops, but don't forget your water. Hooping is a workout, and, especially in this heat, it's important to stay hydrated.

Spring/Summer Hooping

Wow, look at the weather! It's regularly above seventy now (and above eighty too, it seems) so it is time to move the hoop troop gatherings back outdoors. The Tuesday jam will be moving to Finley Park downtown from 6:30-8:00. Look for us in the grass near the stage. Friday's drum circle and hoop-la will be returning to the Casey-West Columbia River walk from 6:30-8:00 pm. We'll be at the amphitheater near the entrance (just listen for the beat of the drums--you can't miss us.)

In good weather, these locations/days should be set for the whole summer, so grab your hoops and come join us!



(P.S. if you don't yet have a hoop, the troop members almost always bring spares you can borrow during the jam. If you are looking to buy a hoop, several of the troop members custom build hoops, so just ask us while you're there.)
