Day 15 of #myhooping challenge with @trixieturvy and @hoopologie Thank you for running this challenge! I expected that I will enjoy participating, but I loved it more than I thought. And I have learned so much. Every morning I looked forward to the new challenge and with pleasure planned what I would do. I loved seeing how other hoopers responded to these challenges too. It made me feel like I have many training partners! And advice! I will definitely keep up posting and connecting to other hoopers. From hooping perspective I wanted to start learning to split 5 hoops on body, improve my juggling, do chest rolls and play more. I think I achieved this, although the 5 hoop thing is coming along very slowly. But juggling is much better and I tried out new creative ideas. Bonus question: Yes! I would love to be the next Hoopologie Influencer! Why? I am not gonna lie, I want some of those hoops. They are so gorgeous. I have had my eye on them for a while. However I would also like to be the person that inspires people to train more, to experiment, to create and to perform. I have seen videos of other influencers and have been so inspired, I would love to do the same. Life is busy and sometimes it is hard to find the time and energy to hoop, but a little inspiration goes a long way. 😍 #hulahoopersofinstagram #hulahoop #circuseverydamnday #circus #jugglinghoops #juggling #juggler #training #bringit

A few experiments with a hoop, a shoe and a dress. Better with the sound on! Day 13 of #myhooping #hoochallenge with @trixieturvy and @hoopologie A tricky question for today. What am I taking from my hoop practice into other aspects of my life? Trust the program, I think. Sometimes thinking about the final big thing is too overwhelming. Instead, trusting the fact that taking small steps in the right direction together with commitment and hard work will pay off. Same as a big trick. It's way too overwhelming to think about splitting many hoops. Instead focus on working on single hoop control. Eventually you can do two, then three and then the world is your oyster. 😉 #hulahoopersofinstagram #hulahoop #circuseverydamnday #circus #cabaret

This is not the most graceful video I have posted, but it is the funniest. Aerial hula hoop act here we come! Thank you to @ellekateo for counterweighting me and being my artistic director. And to @marawa for inspiration. This is much harder than you make it look! 😍 Day 12 of #myhooping challenge by @trixieturvy and @hoopologie Today we talk about other loves in our lives other than hula hoop. And for me it is the trapeze, particularly the swinging kind. Funny enough I think training swinging is like training hoops. It's repetition after repetition until your body knows what to do. Then there is more repetition after repetition to get it consistent. And I like that way of working. In this video trapeze is not there, but it is aerial hula hoop never the less. 😁 #hulahoopersofinstagram #hulahoop #circuseverydamnday #circus #graceful #flappinaround #justforfun #sundayfunday

Day 7 of #myhooping with @trixieturvy and @hoopologie Another late evening post due to finishing work so late, however this is a fun one. @ellekateo and I finally got to train together. Thinking of taking the street show out in a couple of days, so we spent a few hours going through our routine. This is some training for that routine. #hoopstack What are my hooping challenges? Time is a big one. I try to squeeze in swinging trapeze, static trapeze and hooping alongside work in my training week. As you know, hooping practice takes hours and hours. Another challenge for me is to avoid getting stuck in a too rigid training routine. To open it up more to new things. #hoopchallenge #hooplove #hulahoopersofinstagram #hulahoop #circuseverydamnday #circus

How did you start hooping at raves and events? I'd love to start doing it as well because I love to hoop but I'm not sure how to audition, etc. Any tips would be awesome, thank you!

I actually started through gogo dancing, and I learned to hoop later.The best thing to do would be to get an awareness of what hooping teams are current in your area. Follow them on Facebook and check back to see when they have auditions. (Webbwerx Performance Team is the only one I know in Seattle) Also be very aware of who promoters are, if you run into the people throwing the show you’re at…you want to make a good impression if you want them to consider booking you. I actually started performing at raves just because a promoter liked what I was doing, so do what you do well and do it often!
