"Hello hoopers! I am trying to organize a group to be in the 4th of July parade in Highlands Ranch. I will do it by myself if I have to, but it would be so much more fun if you join me! Let me know if you're interested."

The first trick I showed him was the chest roll and he said, "Dang girl! You're good at the hula hoop!" So cute!
It's Maja!

I just made a successful video hoop-casing (ha ha ha, okay I'll stop) showcasing most of the moves I've learned in my one year of hooping. There's a lot of pressure when you are trying to post a "look how far I've come" video.…
