Don't beat yourself up over losing the hoop or how you feel about losing it, sweetie. Take it from one who knows - when we lose something that matters to us it hurts, and when it happens because of something we did or didn't do, that hurts more. To…

How did you learn the majority of the tricks you know today? I watch TONS of youtube videos and dissect the moves! Also Safire is a life saver for the moves I cant figure out....or to just get them down more comfortably.... im in like every one of her classes. Hoopnotica videos are great too!

Heartbroken

Im just going to vent here because no body else understands how heartbroken I am. I bought a 200 dollar LED hoop a while ago that was stolen. I finally pushed my limits and bought another 200 dollar led hoop from cosmic hooper and received it last weekend in the mail. I have been doing nothing but working morning and night almost everyday yet somehow still slipping more and more in debt. I needed this for my passion. To remind me there is more to life than the grind. It was absolutely beautiful.…

sharing or deleting unprofessional videos???

I have been feeling a little down lately from all the busy days Iv had and realized I havent made a hoop video in so long! I also havent been able to just groove in a big space with flat ground in a few weeks since my class has ended and I wont start another until sept :( I have like fifty videos which seems to be kind of ridiculous for those people who have just discovered them all at once. After a specific comment from an anonymous person I started pondering whether or not I should stop produc…

People Hatin on Hoop Dancers!

So me and my wonderful friend Suzanne just started up a Sunday Spin Day at our local park! This past sunday was the first and it went sooo well! We had quite a few girls show up to hoop and a group full of amazing drummers and guitarists to play music for us! I had so much fun!

The only thing that bothers me (and I know I shouldn't let it but I cant help it)are all the ignorant fearful people out there that immediately degrade something new to them!
We were all minding our own business when a c…

Another Euphoric experience!!!

I had another twilight moment hooping today :) It was a hot day but still had a nice breeze. I grabbed my hoops and went outside to play. I just made a REALLY big hoop and decided to test it out. OMG it was amazing! All the moves I have been trying to get down with my regular hoops just smoothly made their way into my free flow dancing. I put some Ani Difranco on and took my shoes off! I really wish I had my vid camera today but its ok because the moment (actually two hours lol) will be in my he…
