A Favorite Hooping Memory

Discovering a new way to thigh hoop without hurting my old knees. Its called the “giddy up” step!
Hooping Tunes

I love disco, classic r&b and old skool rock. Yep, I’m old!
Non-Hooping Music

New Age and classical music mellow me out. R&B makes me move and rock and roll makes my hop to it!
