Pinto Bella gets kids moving with hula hoops
Jul 23, 2016
Plumb Library got a visit from a traveling hula hoop performer on Saturday, July 23.
Featuring hula-hooper Pinto Bella, the event was part of the library's summer reading program, the theme of which is health and wellness.
Bella started off her performance by reading two children's books about hula hooping. She then taught the kids about the different types of hula hoops, and what you could do with each different sized hoop.
Before showing her own tricks, she demonstrated all the different ways one could use a hula hoop, including in yoga, during muscle-strengthening exercises, and to get a cardio workout.
After her performance, the kids were able to play with the hula hoops and get their own practice in.
