Hoop Dancing is a speculator demonstration of athleticism, spirituality, meaning, music, and storytelling. It is a positively dynamic use of artistic object manipulation. I was honored and thrilled to be able to film the 2018 World Championship Hoop Dance Competition at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. While my focus was on video, I was surprised to see how well my still images captured the motion of the dance. I have been even more fascinated with still photography since that time. What do you think? If you’ve ever seen hoop dancing, do you think that stills or video better capture the essence of it? If you’ve never seen it, which intrigues you more?
