HOOP DANCER
The Hoop Dancer amuses his audience & kachina with his magical circular dance.
The hoop is the most significant part of the dance and it has deeper symbolic meaning than meets the eye. For most Native Americans the hoop simply represents the never-ending circle of life. ... They believe that when they are dancing the hoop dance, they are honoring the circle and paying respect towards its sacredness.
