I did this with the radio a month or so back, and it was a fun change of pace.  Most of what's in my iPod was put there for me to hoop to, so using the radio was about the only way I could challenge myself musically. 

 

Going to a fest where you have no control over the music selection is another good way to do this, especially if there are acts at the fest you don't normally listen to.  When Halimeda Hoops and I went to the USM Jazz and Blues Fest a couple of weekends ago, the group on stage wasn't in either of our Nanos, so it was the hoop equivalent of sight reading a piece of new music.  If you're just doing moves and combos it doesn't really matter, but if you're doing a more interpretive style of hoopdance, not knowing the song adds to the fun factor. :)

Here's mine:

 

 

I picked up a new move (new for me, that is); you can see it at the beginning of the video and again a little later.  I'm so glad I learned something new this week. :)
