• Everyone is my favorite hooper! Every person, new, skilled, any hooper has taught me something, everyone has so much to give and that is why i love our community. We all have something to share, to gain from one another, with an outstanding support and love. When I started hooping the online community really encouraged me to be the best that I could be, safire, ziggy, luna, surka, brecken, baxter, jewels, hoop drum, shakti, danielle, nick, tarapin. Some of the first people to ever touch my life with out even knowing it.
