attack of the t-rex

I admit that I haven't really focused on the dance aspect since I've been hooping, I'm the type of person that likes to dive in headfirst into learning tricks. Now I can't get away from the t-rex…

Danielle Starshine replied to the discussion 'GoGo Dancer + Hooper'

Hey, sorry it took a long time to get back to you! Yeah, my wrestling/hooping job IS hilarious. I never thought I'd have a weekly spot on television hooping for a wrestler. I'm not really into wrestling at all, but a friend hooked me up with the gig and now I'm part of the act and actually really enjoying it XD

amazed

Posted on April 15, 2012 at 11:16am 2 Comments

As I look back at the past 7 months I have spent as a hooper, the past 3 months in particular, I am amazed at my progress. I am going through a rough patch in my life, and instead of lashing out and being negative, I am channeling the frustration into my hooping with the intent of transformation, and it is working. It's magical. Three months ago, I could barely keep a hoop up at my chest. Now I can do breaks, arm weaving, one shoulder hooping, stalls, vertical chest hooping, and barrel…
