"It's easier for me to hoop in my second current (for me, it's to the left) with my heavier hoops; just like when I'm learning new moves, it's less work to keep the larger, heavier hoop going than the polypros I've been…"

"I sort of love my reverse current.  I anticipated problems with it when I started waist hooping, and I could see my potential future being very uncomfortable hooping to the right.  One of the things that inspired me to start hoopdancing…"

"I feel your pain. I am humbled by my hoop every time I try my reverse current (left). I can only waist hoop to the left for about 2-3 minutes right now before it falls. Persistence! We'll get there :)"

Hi! How are you? How's your hooping journey going? I'm know I'm so late but, Happy late Thanksgiving. I had an awesome Thanksgiving. I did finally cut my polypro down about 2inches I figured I'd cut it down as I feel the need. Well, hope to hear from you soon. HHJ
