Just learned out to do the helecopter trick today... it felt really akward but i did a quick iphone video of myself and it actually looked pretty good! Its really cool weather today in new york city, and i'm afraid that summer is already gone and the cold is on the way... which means very little opportunity for me to hoop since I dont have an indoor space. I have a pretty good list of tricks so far but i still have a lot more that I can learn! Its been great just watching people's videos of hoop dancing and getting some good ideas for transitions and dancy moves.

I'm really working to try to find people in Brooklyn or the city that want to do a weekly hoop group meet up... I think there's one on Wednesday but I'm in school that night. I really want to set something up so that I have an allotted time to meet people and just hoop! Its so much more fun with friends (and with music!!!) I'd love to do classes but I really can't afford anything right now. I think Kayti Bunny is coming back next week and I really want to try her classes... i think they're only $10 which i could do every couple of weeks.

I'm a little bummed, I got quite a few leads on selling some hoops the last couple of weeks but nothing has come through yet. I'm really hoping to sell the other 2 that I have made so that I can get some new tape and make some more. I am going to make a few smaller ones that are kid-sized... I see that going is going to be the best money-making source! And of course all I have is bigger hoops for adults right now. Crossing my fingers that it all works out because I really need an extra few bucks right now and a little lift of my spirits...

hi! congrats on learning the helicopter! i love how that trick looks :)
i know some girls who used to get together on thursday nights last winter at the 54th street rec center because it was ladies night and the gym was usually pretty open. a rec center membership is $35 for 6 months so it was a great deal. i haven't heard talk of anyone doing it for this coming fall and winter but i'm just putting it out there in case you are interested and can convince some friends to join you.
also, have you considered checking out the groovehoops class? it's on monday nights for $12. it's a great way to meet other nyc hoopers. i plan to go this monday.
btw, love your pics, you look oh so adorable!

hey ya! the monday class is great, I try to make it as often as I can. Kayti is also a good friend of mine, we camped together at burning man and she should be back next week so I assume her class is on, she's a great hooper. In general I would love a hoop jam tho so keep me posted!
