Your First Time

my first time…I was kinda nervous and scared I would be embarassed if I couldn’t keep it up…hahaha. Actually, it was at a little earth day festival at my college during junior year. I’d been wanting to try hooping for some time, but the opportunity hadn’t presented itself yet. Finally, A girl name Christine showed up with a bunch of big pretty hoops. I had to try it. I kept it up. I walked. I danced. I lifted it up. I necked. I. Was. Hooked.

How Often Do You Hoop?

Daily

Favorite Hooping Location

A place where I can listen to loud music and not hit any ceilings, shows

Fire?

I tried it at the first Mentor Training Retreat in Joshua Tree, CA. I was timid and it shows in the video. Didn’t want my dreads to catch on fire. I just ordered mine from Synergy, excited to get more comfortable with it.

Hoop Business

I do. I teach classes whenever I can, and I make and sell hoops. It’s been put on hold due to extensive traveling and living out of a car.

Hooping Tunes

Live music and DJ’s

Non-Hooping Music

Reggae, Electronic, Dubstep, Downtempo, Classic Rock…these genre’s are a little vague when it comes to explaining my interest in music. I’m kind of a snob.
