Phoebe posted a discussionEver feel unable to express yourself in hooping?
I keep hearing really cool songs and envision myself hooping and dancing to them and feeling happiness and getting into the flow. I have the urge to get up and hoop...but what I envision are things that I am not able to do. I could practice until I am able to do those things, but that just feels like drills and a chore. I also don't like the feeling of getting frustrated by being unable to do the moves I want (though I must face this eventually to progress in my hooping). I could get up and do…See More

UGH MEN! (and first hoops)
Posted on April 17, 2009 at 3:26pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I just started making my own hoops for my friends and myself. Today my order of tape came and I spent a good amount of time wrestling the mirror tape, way too stretchy thin vinyl tape, and gaffers tape in what looks like a decent spiral (for a first timer). I was overall very pleased with it and thought it was definitely worth the $10 I charged my friend for it. I went outside to test it and asked my boyfriend if he wanted to come and see how it looked. I hooped a bit and it was very pretty in…

We met at the Dupont Circle Yoga/Hoop last month. I heard you on the call with Jocelyn.... did you make up your mind?
I hope all is well with you and that the job search has gotten better? I am in Sterling just up the road from FC. If you are off on Friday's do you wanna get together and do some hooping at Cherry Hill Park in FC?
