Upward angled LS of two men in top hats hula hooping on chimney pipe and roof. Shot of little girl hula hooping in street with children behind her doing the same. Shots of different people with different looking lifestyles hula hooping (including dancers in a ballet room using hoops for practice and people doing it around their necks). In Holland a farm dog (German Shepherd) is thrown a hula hoop and begins spinning around with it on its neck as it tries to imitate a human performing the act. Quick shot of a cat watching. Slow motion of the dog attempting to hula hoop.
