Hooper who? --A brief introduction of yourself

Purple

2. Location (Dallas is a big place, what part? We also have a lot of "outtatownerz" amongst us too.)
North Dallas (75 & 635)

At the lake, at the club, or in my backyard

4. Favorite tunes to groove to
Trance, progressive house, electro, mostly dance music, chill stuff

5. What's cozy? What type of attire do you like best for hooping in?
Barefoot most of the time, shorts, tank top, if I'm at the lake my swim suit... I feel best connected with my hoop this way.

6. (and because it deserves its own question) Footwear? What tread do you put on your tootsies to get your hoop on?
barefoot or tennies and knee high fun socks when shoes are necessary :)

7. What helps you reach your hooping zenspace (you know what I'm talkin' about--that point where you just get lost in it)
I love when I'm alone, and I can be as carefree as I feel. jamin' out to some good tunes. I close my eyes until I feel the music while I hoop. I like creating a story in my mind to go with it all.

8. Audience? Does getting your hoop on for a crowd do it for ya, or would you rather hoopit for yourself?
I feel that I'm still a beginner, so I prefer to hoop alone. Once I get some more practice I feel moor confident I would like to entertain people with my passion for hooping. Its my goal.

9. How do you learn new hooping moves/techniques best?
Again, alone. In my living room or backyard.

10. Why do you hoop? (describe what motivates you to pick up that circle and whirl it to life)
Honestly, I'm intrigued to see what I can learn to do. Its soo much fun! Soo goofy. I have a personal goal to become a more confident person, I'm pretty shy. I feel that if I practice at it enough I can entertain others someday (its all out of carefree fun though.) I'm most happy to see others happy.

11. How'd you get started? What/who introduced you to the joy of hoop motion?
I was on youtube and ran across some awesome videos. I didnt know you could do soo much with a hoop. I only knew of the flimsy ones we all grew up with as children.
