For sure! I'm still having trouble finding people in South Bend that hoop. I sent a message to that hoop group that you told me about on MySpace but I don't think they check it anymore. The last time they were on there was in July :/ Well def get ahold of me next time you're in town. Bella Spice is one of my friends. She's coming home for Christmas and we're gonna try to get some people together ;)

Thanks, I just realized my video is on the front page! I guess I should have loaded it on to HoopCity rather than just embedding it.

What is your goal for 2012 and why is it important? (Doesn't have to be hoop related.)
I would like to further enhance my hooping skills. I haven't been hooping as much this year as I was in the past and I would really like to get back into it as regularly as I was before.
How old are you ? 24

- When did you first start hooping ? June 2006

- Would you call yourself a beginner, intermediate or advanced hooper ? beginner/intermediate?

- How often do you hoop ? Not NEARLY as much as I used to :( As of now, MAYBE once or twice a week...and it's for short periods of time...

- Do you have an indoor hoop space ? I haven't actually tried it yet, but I think I can move some furniture in my living room and create some space...if not, the bar I work at said that I can do it there during the day.

- Is there a hoop group where you live ? Yes! The Hudsucker Posse...I haven't been to one of their jams yet, but I'd like to check it out...

- Did you start it ? Nope

- Would you say that you are obsessed with or addicted to hooping ? At one time, I was...I don't know what my problem is lately! I think I feel as if I"m at sort of a plateau with my hooping... I need to start hooping with other people and learn new stuff!

- Have you posted hooping videos ? yup. I think I have 9 on youtube? Most of them are just practices or short ones, but there's one in particular that I'm proud of

- Do you have friends nearby to hoop with ? Not really...I met a girl here in Bloomington that does it, but that's it. My roomate will pick up a hoop and waist hoop for a while...and my best friend is moving to Bloomington and she hoops too!

- Do you teach hooping ? As of now, no. I really would like to teach it, but I haven't learned how to teach yet!!

- What kind of songs do you listen to while hooping ? Mostly EDM...some rap, top 40 stuff...EVERYTHING and ANYTHING :)

- What is your favorite song right now ? It's been my favorite for a while... Tiesto-beautiful things

- Do you buy hoops or make your own ? Make them. (bought the psi hoop)

- What size is your favorite hoop ? It's about 38 inches I guess.

- How many hoop own you ? 8? I give them away periodically, so who knows at this point?

- Have you lost weight since starting to hoop ? When I first started, YES...but since I haven't been doing it as much I realize that I've gained some haha

- Are you comfortable hooping by yourself in a public place ? Yes. I would prefer it if somebody else hooped before me, but I'm used to doing it by myself.

- How did you learn the majority of the tricks you know today ? youtube. all of them.

- Who is your favorite hoop teacher ? I have never actually met a hoop teacher IRL, but Safire tutorials are the most helpful ones that I have used

- What advice would you give to to beginner hoopers ? Be patient..."practice makes perfect"

- Do you fire hoop ? no, but i REALLY REALLY want to learn how!

- Do own an LED hoop ? yup! dragonfly psi hoop...

- How much time do you spend on safiredance.ning ? I'm not going to lie...I don't know what that is.

- What was the first trick you learned (besides waist hooping) ? waist to lasso.

- What is the last trick you mastered ? eagle roll...(still not completely mastered)

- What trick so far was the hardest for you to learn ? knees to waist...but now it's one of my favorites

- Which one are you finding is almost impossible to get ? Thread the needle!!!! ugh. that trick will be the death of me.

- How many hoopers would you say live in your town/city ? no idea.

- Have you performed hooping in front of an audience ? yes
