A Favorite Hooping Memory

I made a goal for myself to get a certain move down called “the scorpion” before I left for a semester abroad. I’ll never forget when I actually got it. I did it over, and over, and over. Very satisfying. Every moment of hooping is memorable though.
Hooping Tunes

Electronica and dubstep mostly, they get my heart pumping. Bassnectar, Beats Antique, Myles Away, Big Gigantic, Florence + The Machine, Noisia, Excision, Grateful Dead, Bare Noize, Fatboy Slim, The Glitch Mob, STS9, Lady Gaga, just to name a few
Non-Hooping Music

Anything really. I’m a huge fan of pop music, not going to lie. I love slow instrumentals and beautiful singing voices. I can appreciate any time of tune.
