I would assume most of the people take dance lessons or have a membership at the gym which allows them access to the nice hooping space.

If you cannot afford a membership somewhere else an idea is to get some mirrors to use at home. My friend got 3 huge mirrors for her apartment off craigslist for pretty cheap she just had to pick them up and get some guys to help carry them up the stairs. I'm thinking 2 of them were about 3 x 5 and the other one was larger. I am thinking I might have to see if I can find some and put them in the garage to hoop this winter.

We're working on securing a spot for the winter months, but it's hard to find a space to match eveyrthing you need (don't forget to add in high cielings... most dance and yoga studios have low cielings in our city).

Anyway, I hoop in my living room and found a big round mirror for $5 at a yard sale. It works perfectly for me!! =)

My gym won't let me & no room for mirrors at home, so my cheap trick is teachers' mylar sheets glued to foamcore. Not the clearest image but better than nothing!! I stick it behind a cabinet when not using it.

myLar-- I got it at a local teacher's supply store. Warning: this doesn't give a true mirror image, but a blurry, somewhat distorted reflection. Still better than nothing + super-light, cheap & unbreakable.

Ikea also sells mirrors for $10 each. You can just buy 3 or 4 and put them next to each other.

Also, getting a gym membership is worth it. Most Bally's are decreasing their memberships down to $20/mo. If you can wait til the new year there's usually a deal at about every gym.

You are from Cali? Doesn't seem like it gets too cold right?

Ikea as Trepan mention probably has the most verity of mirrors to pick from at good prices. A full length mirrors not a whole/wide reflaction area but might help ya out. Some stick on the well or back of a door then you have the fancy kind that stand off the well. Thats the kind I want to get so I can move it into the living area then back in my room.
