Hi Noora, I am just planning out where am I going to stay over night after the UKHG is finnished. I am flying home to Switzerland on monday morning from Birmingham airport. How about you? from where are you flying home?

And how and when are you getting there? We should meet if we go the same way.

I arrive in Birmingham on Friday at 11.15 and then take the train to Kidderminster.

Can't wait to get there, so exciting! Which hoops are taking? and how many? LED? and what are we going to wear!? It is soooo exciting... Anyway, cheers and talk to you later. Love Jana

Hello Noora,
I am an exchange student from Canada studying at the University of Lapland in Rovaniemi for the year. Unfortunately, I haven't bring my hula-hoops over because I though it will be easy to find all the material needed to make my owns. But, I couldn't find the tubing in any hardware or at prisma....Could you tell me where are you getting your hoops from or where do you buy your material to make your own?
Thank you! Hope to hear from you...I can't wait to hoop again!!!

P.S. I send the same email to others hoopers in Helsinki that are your friends I think......It seems that you're making some hooping workshops and trips around Finland...could you give me some details? I would be very interested to be part of it :))

I have been hooping for almost one year now and ever since I have been hoping that finnish hoopers would become more known in the world. We have AMAZING hoopers in this tiny country and we are getting more and more new ones all the time. Our hoop community is growing, more great events are being held. I am very excited to see where the finnish hoopdance is next year. We are definitely making our way to the map so to speak.

 

Last year (November) we had two amazing and umm.. I…

Are you comfortable hooping by yourself in a public place?
I haven't done it yet, but I think it'll be okay.. maybe.. possibly.. :D I think it's better to hoop in company. ^^

Who is your favorite hoop teacher?
SaFire, Hoop-a-trix, Baxter, Brecken, Ann Humphreys, Beka Hoop.. ANYONE!

What advice would you give to to beginner hoopers?
Don't try to be something you are not. Be yourself and move like you feel is best for YOU! Also, don't take hooping too seriously, because hey, it's not serious! ;)

Do you fire hoop? If not, do you want to?
I have done it twice and it was FUN but really scary. I'm just one of those people who has to get used to it and not be afraid. :P

Some people at work have laughed at my hoops, but they don't know anything! :D

What’s the worst injury you’ve acquired from the hoop?
Just little bruises and broken nails. :D One fat lip and one scratch on my cheek! :D
