hoopers
Cask ring fitters
Hoopers are people who perform with hula hoops, typically as dance, exercise, or circus arts.
The practice—hooping—involves spinning hoops around the body, often incorporating tricks and choreography: Hoopers gathered in the park for a flow jam.
The term also applies to basketball players, though this use is less common: pickup hoopers at the gym.
