BOOK REVOLVA'S FANTABULOUS HOOP ACT:
revolvahoopdance.com
revolvahoopdance(at)gmail(dot)com
Revolva first hit the stage at age five, as a "dancing poodle" in a Detroit-area ballet class. After years of dancing, crafting fiction, writing/performing in plays and collaborating with other artists on multi-media projects, hoops whirled her way in 2002. And suddenly, this writer-by-day transformed into a sequin-clad hoop artist, causing jaws to drop across the globe, from her former home in the Midwest ... to her current home on the West Coast ... and to Germany, South Korea and beyond.
Like Clark Kent, "Ms. Jones" will stop scribbling in order to save the world (from boring acts). But beware because the story often lingers, even after her transformation into super hooper Revolva. James Bond, the lady from Flashdance, a 1980s breakdancer: she does it ALL! And her unique style of "character hooping" is infused with mind-boggling tricks, awe-inspiring flexibility and a whole lotta' grace and rhythm.
Want to "revolutionize" your lineup? You know who to call. Revolva's arsenal of skills includes: highly professional theme routines (requests accepted), general freestyling to DJs/live music, roaming performance, fire hooping, LED hooping, teaching fun workshops and standing on her head while hooping on her toes. Revolva has performed hoopdance in three countries, earned one and a half masters degrees in English/Creative Writing, and made it her life's mission to prove that story-telling and the movement arts are a truly dynamic duo.

.. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Who I'd like to meet:
Dancers, prancers, revolutionaries.* FYI ~ I love getting to know interesting people, but I don't automatically accept all friend requests. If you fit into any of the following categories, I probably won't connect with you: private profiles (can't see who you are), profiles where some lonely dude is obviously just collecting women for his top friends, bands who indiscriminately send invites to everyone on the planet, profiles that contain something that makes me want to give up on humanity entirely and go crawl into the ocean (i.e. a song called "Smack Dem Hos Up"). Thanks!
* I'd appreciate it if you'd post flyers in yourspace (or in a bulletin), not in myspace.

I was thinking of you often, especially during the last days. Now I know it was also because the stars are aligned for you currently because of b-day time.
More soon,
all the best,

Anyways, I've been practicing and making some amateur video's of my own on my phone. I filmed Christina hooping with her LED hoop, turned out really cool. Just need to figure out how to get it off my phone and on to a computer.

And yeah, Pinball Pete's was a pretty significant part of my weekly routine back in East Lansing (there's one in Ann Arbor too...maybe more). I've never mentioned this to the guys at the PBHoF, but i will next time I go. I'm thinking I'm overdue for a visit!
