Rayna McInturf, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Hoopnotica, hoopnotizes crowds with her sensual hoop dancing at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday, July 19, 2008. McInturf has been hula-hooping since 2000- from Cirque du Soleil Premieres to PowerAde Commercials. It has opened up a world of creativity and self expression for Rayna, inspiring her to share the joy and magic of hoopdance by creating the Hoopnotic® Hoopdance Curriculum. Rayna is a published author and holds a BA in Women's Studies from UCLA. Hooping.org Magazine's readers voted Rayna the Female Hooper of the Year for 2007.
