Levitation Wand Flow to Pebbles - Can't Help It from Laura Charles on Vimeo.

Atomic Wand & Flowlight Wand spin off from Laura Charles on Vimeo.

The day started off with me having to do two interviews from interesting hula hoop sources.  One was for a young lady that's getting ready to release a flow arts article for black history month...about black hula hoopers.  I can't wait for the release.  I was supposed to have done the interview over the weekend...but my spontaneous trip to Kansas City Missouri caused the slow up.  Glad I was able to get it done. 

Join this FREE group to get FREE smart hoop patterns created by me :)  The group is loaded with a few folders full right now.

Laura Charles spins up such an emotionally powerful and beautifully expressive hoop dance, we just couldn't stop watching.

Yep...was featured on Hooping.org for the second time by surprise.  I really don't visit that site, but am SO GLAD I do have hoop friends that I adore...who fancy the site.  If not for them...I would have never known about both times I was featured. 

The song in the video is VERY challenging, and I thought I did horrible...but since my youtube page is basically like a portfolio of my hoop journey, I try to upload every video I'm some what comfortable with.  I do enjoy seeing my mistakes, so I can continue to drive myself to perfection.  For a performance I don't fine so perfect...it really makes me feel good that someone like Hooping.org found it to be share worthy.  That really helps because I know that if I keep working hard...they will be there to share it with the world.

Hello Supporter, I have been hand-selected by RAW:natural born artists to Perform a Hoop Dance exhibit at their next artist showcase in St Louis Missouri called "Grandeur", but I need your help! 

The event will be held at The Ready Room on March 19th @ 8pm . The event is 18+ and the dress code is cocktail attire. 

I'm writing to you to ask for your support to be a part of this amazing event! Not only can this event help me network with other great local artists and expose me to 700+ attendees, it can help me expand nationally and even internationally as well. Here's how: RAW is providing me with a "Behind the Artist" video interview and footage of the event, as well as head shots and photos of my Hoop Dance performance to help me to further promote myself independently. I'll be eligible to win the RAW artist of the year award locally, and have an opportunity to compete against other city winners for the national title to Hoop Dance at the RAWards award show & ceremony in LA. AND I will have an opportunity to showcase again OUT-OF-STATE at any other RAW location of my choice (over 60+ cities globally)! All I have to do is sell 20 tickets to help promote the event. Your support would be greatly appreciated. The tickets are only $15 and need to be sold by March 15th in order for me to participate. If you buy them from me you also save $5 because they go up to $20 at the door. 

You can purchase tickets right from my RAW artist profile: http://www.rawartists.org/lauracharles

If you are not available to attend that night, you can still purchase a ticket to support me and my work. This will open up a guest list spot for me to invite someone who can attend. 

For those that choose to attend or purchase tickets, be sure to join my tumblr  so I can send you a special performance video to your email.

Thank you so much for your support, I couldn't do this without you! If you are not available to attend that night, you can still purchase a ticket to support me and my work. This will open up a guest list spot for me to invite someone who can attend.
