You are absolutely fabulous! Holy shit! I *love* this video--your dance is amazingly fluid and effortless, and your creativity with moving the hoop around the shoulders and arms is (as everyone has said) truly awe-inspiring. ......WOW.....

Katie!!! i'm so happy you moved her. you're such an amazing little burst of sunshine. And you are SO graceful and beautiful. Thanks for the support, hun. i'll see you sunday

I love the video! Obviously, we are all relating to that inner chatter that questions, criticizes, distracts, worries, encourages, argues, motivates, etc. It's so hard to quiet that overactive mind! When mine is at its loudest, or most engrandizing, that's when the hoop pops me in the face! It was a wonderfully creative and revealing expression of the "process" of hooping.

You dance beautiful and that move IS totally kick-ass. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope to see you again!

Wow. This is my favorite hooping video week in a long time! First of all, the shoulder pass over the chest is badass. I don't think I've seen that before, either.

But secondly, as someone who lives alone and talks to herself non-stop (aloud and in my head), I totally related to the word flow that went with your hoop flow. I have to give you props for being able to represent a wandering mind on film. It was very well done. The way the voices are layered over each other and the fact that you used quick bursts of unrelated thoughts really mimics inner dialog.

You actually inspired me to try to figure out how to upload my first, first hoop video ever -- before I even knew there was a "hooping underground," when I still used toy hoops. It's a black and white art film made by my friend Franziska Ruprecht. She layered a bunch of recorded interviews over one another, and the voices are all talking about "dreams" ... in different languages. English, Chinese, Turkish, and I forgot what else. The movie itself is like a crazy dream, and in part of it, I'm hooping in front of an abandoned building in downtown Detroit. And I'm still like 25 lbs. heavier! :) It's TOTAL art school stuff, maybe even comically so. But the thought flow in your video reminded me of the way that dream talk goes in mine.

Anyway, really interesting! I'm so happy to see a huge variety of videos this week, with lots of new moves and new taping concepts. I hooped for several hours yesterday (at the park and at home) and suddenly broke through some barriers late last night. I think sometimes I just need the inspiration that comes from watching others ... so thanks everyone.

this is so exciting. i'm so glad you like it. ...i actually just held the camera with my left hand and hooped with my right. It was a little scary considering i'd rented the camera and would owe about 3 grand if it broke. But actually (and i'll send a picture if you want) i reccently made a head device -with goggles and hot glue and some canvas- that would hold my small digital camera to my forehead. I'm gonna try to use it for something else, but i haven't decided yet. thanks again. keep in touch

This is such an excellent video. I'm glad to be reminded to see it again.
