When did you start hoopdancing? & Why did you think it is a good idea?

I started in February 2010, it looked like an awesome skill to learn and I wasn’t wrong, lol.

Did you find the beginning easy? Did you ever think you would get to hoopdance as well as you do now?

To begin with in the first couple of weeks it was a bit strange, but after that it was a lot easier to pick moves up, well some anyway. Others haven’t been so easy but have been worth the bruises.

Has hoopdance changed anything in your life?

I find hooping lets you release happy vibes that are very addictive to other people, like my partner has picked up the hoop quite a few times, and it is very social, I feel healthier but don’t know about the dress size :$

Do you often get frustrated when things do not work with the hoop? How do you get over that frustration? What motivates you to keep trying?

Motivation to keep going is the sense of feeling I get when I conquer a move. There have been times when I have been frustrated. But I will go on to something different and then go back to it, and that normally makes such a difference.

How much time do you spend hooping? (a day or a week)

Depends on how my week of work is, I hoop on my breaks and in the evening so quite a lot.

Have you achieved any of your goals that you had before signing up for the first class? Did you have any expectations?

No didn’t have expectations, but my goal was to not give up, which I’m glad I haven’t as it is absolutely awesome.

Have you got any favourite moves or any that you particularly dislike? Any really really frustrating ones?

I like the kick start witch I learned last week, painful but sense of satisfaction when did it, and I like leg hooping, I probably also dislike the leg hooping as well because of all the cuts and bruises on my face hehe. But in general I love doing all of it.

Would you recommend hoopdance to others? What is your advice to those who are just at the beginning of their hoopdance experience?

Yeah I have said to many people they should do it :D and basically just to keep trying at it because you will succeed, don’t give up because you don’t get something  right. You will do, it just takes time. And do PRACTICE, as much as you can as that makes a hell of a difference.
