Are you comfortable hooping by yourself in a public place? Yes!

How did you learn the majority of the tricks you know today? SaFire

Who is your favorite hoop teacher? I think Safire breaks it down so great, but when I can't get a move, I go to Youtube to see if anybody else can describe it another way. I love how everyone has their own take on it, because we all learn differently.

What advice would you give to to beginner hoopers? Don't give up! Give your body time to feel the hoop until you become one with it, and it will flow so much easier.

What was the first trick you learned (besides waist hooping)? The Vortex

What trick so far was the hardest for you to learn? Shoulder hooping...I just couldn't get it to go smoothly and move in that four-point rotation.

Which one are you finding is almost impossible to get? Haven't met one yet...nothing is impossible!

How many hoopers would you say live in your town/city? tons...it is San Diego county after all!

Have you performed hooping in front of an audience? How many do you consider to be an audience? Not formally, and not on purpose!  Do passers-by count?

Has anyone told you you were too old to be playing with a hula hoop? No

I got my LED hoop today! I can't wait for the battery to charge! It's all yellow, red and orange lights...I can pretend it's a fire hoop without the BURN! Now for some night hooping... :)

New Costume

Posted on January 18, 2010 at 12:19am 2 Comments

I found this wild stretch velvet that is a pink and black with silver sparkles animal print! I even bought black fringe to put on the shorts and top that I'm going to make. This is for hubby for Valentine's Day. I've got a new LED hoop coming...now to pick a song to dance to for him. Hmmmmmm........just something kind of romantic sounding. Not really dancy-dance stuff. Maybe I'll do Nora Jones.

July 4th Hoop Jam

Posted on July 5, 2009 at 8:48am 1 Comment

So I had a blast at my friend's house yesterday. Although I was HOT in my outfit...they have absolutely no shade (but I did actually get a comment on how "hot" I did look in my outfit...ego boost!!). But I was able to roll up the pants to make them into capris...hey, they're convertible! I finally figured out the leg hooping yesterday too! I can use both legs and spin in a circle, and even get the hoop back up to my waist! I feel so free now that I can move the hoop from my neck all the way…  

Hoop costume done!!

Hey! I just finished my first hoop outfit! I'll post a picture soon, but my hair was such a mess after all the sewing and I had total bed-head! But, it is very cool. I have a bell bottom pattern that I bought like 17 years ago (did I just say that?!). I've made a few just to wear, but they really were only "cool" to ME. So finally...a reason to make some really bitchin' bells!!!! I even put the skirt on over it to cover just my "tush". And I bought a belly dancing pattern for the top. It's all…  

Want to do a video too! Someday...

Posted on June 26, 2009 at 3:31pm 3 Comments

I need to add a video...I'm so scared to post myself! I don't look anything like you guys here! Mine will end up on the Bloopers page! But I'm so inspired watching all the videos here on Hoop City. My time will come!

Hi Swivel Lass.  Glad to find you here.  Somehow misplaced the flyer from Monday evenings class, really enjoyed my evening.   My daughter will be signing up for class today so therefore will need a hoop for her.

Been having such a good time, thanx a bunch.  Also on hoops, would it be possible to order a hoop with the colors pink and purple?

 

Thanx sooo much

Darlene
