Hoopiversary

March 7, 2006

Your First Time

It was tiring, clumsy and eye-opening. I was hooked immediately.

How Often Do You Hoop?

Daily

Groups & Troupes

I hoop with my students and peform for free wherever I go!

Favorite Hooping Location

Anywhere there is room!

Fire?

I have a fire hoop that I’ve spun un-lit. After I got it, I was afraid to burn! I keep promising myself someday soon!

Hoop Business

MissFit Hooping is the name of my hoop business here in southern Maine. It’s become my full time job. I teach my classes first for fitness. I am a certified Group Fitness Instructor. Once my students are comfortable with the hoop as a fitness tool, I move them towards achieving flow and incorporating dance moves. I like everyone to be able to do something with their hoop in class, so I find not concentrating on tricks right away helps them to achieve comfort and it’s less intimidating.

A Favorite Hooping Memory

When I finally got chest/shoulder hoopinig! That was a glorious day and my hooping just took off from there!!! I was so bruised up because I had been at it all day, practicing while watching my shadow for 5 hours straight! My other favorite memory is jamming with my youngest daughter, she loves to hoop as much as I do!

Hooping Tunes

I love to hoop really fast and love anything with a fast, hard beat. Especially those workout remixes. I like to freak out with my hoop.
