Ever since I picked up a hoop, I’ve learned again and again how important it is in the hoop culture to “share the hoop love”.  It’s all catch-phrasy and stuff.  I think I’ve done my part - sharing hooping with people I worked with, sharing it with family, having a hooping birthday for my daughter, […]

I hope your weekend was as good as mine.  First hoop jam of the year, and the weather was even better than I expected - and the turnout was fantastic.

My hoop practice yesterday was interrupted by a junior hooper who just loves the camera.  If only I had the kind of perseverance that she does when it comes to dropping the hoop and picking it up time and time again.  She could have kept on going for hours!

Hoop class tonight totally blew.  I was looking forward to it all week, and I think I managed to convince myself that it wasn’t going to be far harder than what I was used to in the first set of classes.  I felt so completely feeble.  And lethargic.  I couldn’t get comfortable in my hoop […]

Thanks to the smart little geniuses at Prodmod, I made my first LED hoop yesterday!  I ordered the kit from them shortly before Christmas, as a distraction from all of the nuttiness that Christmas was throwing at me, and I finally got around to buying the tubing yesterday.  I have to give huge thumbs up […]

Today, I spent the better part of the morning rearranging my office furniture so that I can practice hooping in my office at lunch time.  *snicker*

When I first got hooked on hoop dance earlier this summer, I got equally hooked on making hoops - or rather, learning how to make hoops.  If you are like me, you probably started your search by googling “how to make a hoop” and getting directed to the awesome instructions on jasonunbound.   You probably […]
