Bio
Paul grew up in both the mountains of Idaho and the city of Seattle. He holds a BA in Anthropology with a minor in Dance from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. In college he played soccer, runner, swimmer, and rower but his favorite sport was hula-hooping…or doing other sports WHILE hula-hooping! Needing a more practical career than anthropology, he combined his love of Athletics, Dance and Hula-hooping to develop an act. He soon took dozens of hoops along the festival circuit in North America and Europe became The Hula-hoop Man.
To date dizzy has performed in at least 17 countries and he has performed for tv shows, commercials and dozens of fortune 500 companies. His show stayed fresh and creative; always ahead of, and uniquely apart from his competition. He now offers a spectacle act of tricks with 1 to dozens of hoops and a comedy act that also includes amazing card throws, lasso tricks, a squeeze through a small tennis racket and more!
Dizzy’s shows, hoop games, original bits like “The Hoop-la-Square”, and his ability to teach practically ANYONE to hula-hoop in just a few minutes have earned him high praise from organizers, clients, audiences and the media. One producer has often said “Dizzy rocks the party!” Dizzy’s energy and joy is genuine, audiences everywhere are inspired, awed and energized by his shows and “inter-actives.”

The first time I used hooping and politics was for the 10 days of WTO protesting in Seattle 1999- ever since I have found it to be a very effective form of expression at events like that. What says "Freedom" more than hooping? what says "pursuit of happiness " more than hooping? What is is more all american than hooping ion the eye of the general public? [though most of us know its true tradition is much older and MUCH more divers than that]. Being involve is the first step for an other wise ... read more

Dizzy Hips is my stage name. I am a hula-hooper and prop comic. My real name is Paul Blair. I have had several stage names. I have had a lot of fun coming up with stage name and slogans.

I also tried "hula-hoop king" in those early, more cocky years. At the same time I had a knick name from friends teasing m... read more

I was a street performer for 4 or 5 years and traveled all over the country and Europe several times. i learned a lot about people and I learned a lot about territorial dynamics among humans and hierarchical order in fringe groups. First, a few definitions: there are two kinds of street performers: buskers and bottlers or circle show performers. The terms developed in Britain which is the ancestral home of most street performing as we know it. Buskers are those who do something in a thorough... read more
