Its been a while.
I didn't really get a great vid I was happy with during my session. Thought I might try again later in the month - but times been flying so I'd better just post these. =) Also, this Wyclef is not from that album - but it's what I had.

    sweet! I don't have too much time to write all I probably will, but loved both vids...the second one with lots of sky was really awesome. I love your continuous breaks in sky and your lifts and drop-ins in sky. so smooth. You make it look effortless. In the first video, too, love the angle breaks...you seem to have these down, so incorporating more paddles in them would look great, too. Your angle "beam me up" (is that what's it's called by Christabel??) is sooooo smooth. I love the way you groove to the beat. Wish I could write more now, but gotta run. so glad you posted!!

      Thanks Natalie! I'm surprised you think my drop-ins in sky looked smooth. Sometimes they flow and sometimes they don't and I feel like that night they weren't really flowing. The paddling was feeling a little awkward as well - kept messing up my own rhythm when I would paddle - I think I need more flight time with this. Thanks for the quick response and I will work more on my angle paddling. =)

    It's so hard to find the words about your hooping Vicky without sounding like an infatuated psycho...but here goes. Simply put, I LOVE YOUR HOOPING!!!! You have a style that makes my mouth hang open to catch flys while I watch. You are smooth like butter, moving your birds and trees with total grace. I love how you keep your dance in beat with the music. Your transistions are seamless. Your sky angles look so effortless. I have diligently been trying to do lifts from sky all month, and can not keep the rotation going when I bring back the hoop back down. HOW DO YOU DO IT????? Both of your vid's show very difficult techniques that you just flow right through.
    Vicky, you are one of my favorite hoopers to watch. I can't wait to soak up your radiance in June. Much love.

    You are working those angles so easily. You hoop with such a confidence and you're moves are crisp and flowy - nice transitions. I was loving how you incorporated all the reversals - so quick some of them. Can't wait to hang & hoop in June!

        Victoria, both these videos really show your amazing skills and beautiful flow. I love the ease with which you switch currents and planes. Your multiple breaks and reverses have their own flowy rhythm which is calming and pleasing to watch. Like everyone, I am blown away by the smoothness of your lifts and drop-ins, particularly on angle. I also very much liked the dancy way your legs were moving and lifting in the BeeGees remix. I wish that when I was listening to the original tune back in Junior High that I had some of your moves. I would have been the bomb at the prom and my life story might have been dramatically different. But I digress. Why does this always end up being about me? Hmmm....
