The only negative thing I've seen was people dissing "certified hoop teacher instructor trainings" and "hoop brands" ie Hoopnotica, Hoopgirl, BodyHoops, et al. They think that hoop brands are bad for hooping and taking a hoop instructor class is just greedy.

Although I don't think they understand that some of these hoop brands bring new people to the hoop. I've seen a few stories of people who started out wanting to hoop by seeing HoopGirl on some television show and buying her DVD. Is that bad? No. Having hoop brands like BodyHoops and HoopGirl gets personal trainers to teach hooping classes which is spreading hoop love. In my area, there are not very many hooping classes and a very small hooping community.

I agree with you Shannon. I've been hooping for less than a month and what got me interested in it was seeing Rayna from Hoopnotica on Youtube. She's crazy good! She not only shows you how to hoop, but shows that you can add sensuality to your movements, how to add your own brand of spirit and spunk into your dancing.  And the HoopGirl beginner dvd I think is a great way to start learning technique as well. The hoopers in these dvds are pretty much the only way I can learn. There's ONE hooping class where I live. THAT'S IT! (and it's not one that I can make it to!!!) So I love my dvds, youtube instruction, and hooping sites like these.

It might have something to do with the overall attitude of the world. Everyone is stressed, and everyone is poor, and war doesn't make anyone happy. Its a messed up world, but I agree about the change. I just want to see some more love! :D
