I see I've gotten behind again with my journal entries.  I got a little sidetracked on Week 5, Isolations, when I bought hoop supplies and made myself minis.  I split my Week 5 Isolations on full size and mini's.  

For full size isolations, I worked on hinge, bus driver and trying out the minis isolations from the Hoopnotica Minis disk: choo-choo and the basic isolation.  Basic isolations, but they are a bit harder to execute well than it looks.
