Hoopin

hula hoop

So, I recently signed up for a 6-week beginner's hoop dance class. I've known about hoop dance for some time, but the outlets for learning are a bit sparse in Philadelphia. I originally was searching for a group to learn new poi tricks from, when I stumbled across a group based in Philly. I went to a couple of jams, but it was hard to learn when lessons aren't readily available. When I brought up the word "poi" to my friends, they would just stare in confusion..so that was a dead end. Although I was still playing around with poi, my interests had shifted to the art of hooping. With the bitter winter weather and depressing sunless days, my creative inspiration was quickly diminishing and I was in desperate need for a new outlet! Alas, Hoop dance..
Great aerobic excersice + fun + sexy = something I could really get into!
So far, I've been to 2 classes and making headway - I'll keep you posted! :)

Cheers!
