I spent my night happily contra dancing at the historic Glen Echo Park’s beauteous Spanish Ballroom. Here I met several friendly folk, one of whom is an active hooper in the DC community (bringing an armful of hoops to the dance!). She’s even got her own group of hooping women spinning it up together every week. I am grateful to already be running into others who have such a passion for this movement. What a pleasant and unexpected addition to a great night of folk dance.
