This woman has amazing spacial awareness, poise, balance, and flexibility. I wonder how many years of practice it has taken her to develop that kind of skill. Amazing!

Its not about being the best, its about finding pure happiness in what you do and embracing the experience. That shows in performance. unique act

Her name is Irina Akimova and is an amazing hula hoop performer from Russia who has performed all over the world, including at 'Cirque Du Soleil'. Irina was born and raised in very small town near Saratov, Russia. At the age of 10, she attended the local school of art where she learned the art of hula-hoop and immediately was captured by the "fun, philosophy and challenge of it". After appearing and winning the world famous Circus festival “Silver Rain”, producers from around the world noticed her. After travelling the world performing on many prestigious stages in Japan, Russia, U.S.A, Germany, Mexico, Canada and Monaco, she is now performing at the Cirque Du Soleil show “Delirium”.

Wow - the move towards the end with two hoops on one foot, one on the other leg and two in each hand was unbelievable! Wow!

It would be awesome if she hoops, using LED hoops, at a Music Festival! Awesome job!

holyshit i cannot believe my eyes! what kind of hulahoops are those!

I can pat my head, rub my stomach and clap.

She made this look effortless. A stunning performance even after 9 years on youtube.

I‘m so amazed how the hoola hoop go up so fast with just her movements!

Wow, this is the most technical one I've ever seen for sure!

wow wow wow. as a fellow hooper i am in awe. she is so amazing... i couldnt even fathom that right now. she has her hoop tricks down thats for sure!

this is absolutely amazing i cannot even fathom the amount of talent in this video

wish the aspect ratio was right! Now, if she can just put blades at the sides of those hoops , she could possibly make a good mortal combat character

.... Behold the goddess of hooping. Phenomenal.

i am also a hooper this girl juggles two hoops she can get the hoo from the floor to above her head without touching it AT all just by wiggling like a fish hoops two hoops on ONE hand and she can do the hellicoter over her head with two hands can you do any of that?????? this girl is amazing with a hula hoop and you know it this is actually the video that started my hooping. it is inspiring your just mad because she makes you feel lousey at hooping dont feel jealous learn from her!!

The bestest performance of any kind I've seen till today .hats off

If you gave me 100 years at the constant age of 23....I could NEVER do this. Simply amazing!

This women has outstanding precision and technique. It is obvious that she has put her life's work into just this one act, and that has allowed her to live with abundance doing what she is passionate about. She couldn't perform like this if she wasn't passionate. I admire her completely. So I agree isopuppy you tell em! ;-)

Just imagine this with LED hoops O.o

Oh My God I am totally blown away. Best performance of all time ever?

Only hoopers know how absolutely difficult this routine is

Absolutely incredible!! Best of the best!!Elena Lev and Masha Silaeva are incredible too. What you do is artistic magic.Giga talent that you had genetically and perfected through practice.I don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate this.Loved it!! Cheers from British Columbia Canada!!!!

Look, I'm not a hooper yet, but I know that this woman has INSANE control over the hoops! You ever tried hooping in the 5th grade and the hoop just falls down? Remember how hard that was? And then you see her doing this effortlessly?! I'm fascinated and just silently watching in awe.

I must agree .... while this girl is on a completely different level as far as the incredible things she can do, Katie just has that "amazingly hot girl next door look"

The song is "Cold Flame." It comes from the Cirque du Soleil soundtrack Delirium. The song isn't instrumental- in the clip the music is a demo. It's a good beat- and yes, Ms. Akimova is part of the troupe.

U were my very first inspiration 😍😍 n I just performed in Hollywood, CA!

Oh God! This girl is from another world!!!!!!!!!!

How can you not like this !? That was so amazing.

She's like a hula hoop ninja with lightning skills!!

OMG!!! That girl is sooo talented!

Really enjoyed this one!

Why can't there be more than one style and people have a preference? It's like music, what makes some people cry with joy will not do the same for others. There is validity in preference, not hate. I love this video, but agree there are other types of Hooping out there that capture another aspect of this sport and are divine. Enjoy what makes you smile and fills your heart with joy. We all don't have to agree on a prefered style. Just that it's all pretty amazing.

won some awards for Hula hoop but nothing compared to this WOW! go girl

Really superb and perfect hula hoop act and so much energetic work and the God bless you forever with all good wishes.

I wanna be just like her! I've been teaching myself how to hula hoop dance

I totally agree. A lot of those tricks were amazing, but there was no art to it. I much prefer the slower, flowing kind of hoop dance. It isn't all about tricks. It's really pretty and hypnotic.

That was INCREDIBLE!!

WOOOOW ..she's amazing !!!

Wow great job! Excellent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I just ended up here. But this lady is off the chain with this hula hoop fr lol.

awsome...simply awesome..........no words 2 say....she is doing so perfect that i cant close my eyes for a second......fantastic

You certainly have a valid point there. Things that ring out a slow, earthy melody are very warm and beautiful. That being said, this fast, showy sort of hoop style is also interesting. It's interesting and intriguing to watch. Perhaps it is not obvious that the warmth and love for energy is there, but to be at the skill level that she is at, it has to be there. I'm aspiring to be both a professional hoop dancer, as well as, a contortionist. With months of practice, I'm only at 1/4 her skill.

WOW WOW WOW! The Goddess of Hula...Hoop!

Wow that's amazing!:)

I can only do half of that, ur amazing

Lol, the guys in the booths looked like Russian mobsters.

wow i think i'm in love

lovely, inspirational

She is a professional acrobat. Great.

You are the best I ever seen

I am also an acrobat and do hula hoops but more in the 'Elene Lev-way'. I just prefer that and think it's more beautiful. What this girl does is just not my cup of tea. I don't really feel like it's elegant and I like it way better when it's elegant. It's a case of what style you like, nothing to do with technique because this girl certainly has technique and talent!

multitasking at its best

Impresionante !!! Que velocidad

Good god I'm in love again !

Your amazing
