A vow..

Posted on February 5, 2011 at 12:34pm 1 Comment

Ok! I need you all to hold me to this!


So, I'm not a very comfortable dancer. I've never really been a good dancer, so dancing while hooping is a struggle for me.

My vow to myself is that before I hoop every day, I'm going to dance for at least 5 minutes, without the hoop. It will be a good warm-up, and hopefully get me loosened and dancing more IN the hoop.

 

Anyoen else have any advice for us non-dancers?

I can do it!

Hmm...30/30 challenge? hoop gathering?

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 9:18am 2 Comments

So I read the caption of someone's video and saw they were doing the 30/30 challenge...I can't find anything on it on here, or on the web. I'm assuming it's hooping for 30 minutes a day for 30 days straight?

I'm not sure if it is, or it isn't...but that sounds like a fun challenge either way..and I think I'm going to do it! Who's with me?

 

Also, I have been hoping, praying, waiting for a hoop retreat in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area OR within a reasonable distance..Now…

 

Wow it's been awhile

Hello all! I'm writing because I'm for once genuinly excited about life. I'm teaching Kindergarten, which could'nt be going more fabulously, i'm better developing my sign language skills, and i'm back in the hoop (I always seem to have a lull during the winter..). I'm getting married this June and I'm excited to be receiving my collapsible hoop in the mail fairly shortly to take on our honeymoon to Mexico! (I can't wait to share THOSE videos!!!).

Well. I just wanted to share some of my…

Hi everyone. I am so excited at how many wonderful people are in this community, commenting on my videos and genuinly being great friends. I love it! In preparation for Summer Camp Festival (less than two weeks!) I have been trying to learn some stuff..flow better..etc..I hope that I am improving! The reason I am tryign to improve before then is I have convinced myself I'm "good" enough to own an LED hoop..it's sort of a big investment when you're BROKE like me. I'm very excited though! It'll…
