My favourite month is here! OCTOBER-WEEN! I mean, October... By the October rolls around, I feel like most people are ready for changes or they are in the process of making changes. I am personally working on HooperSonic and personal health-related changes. I'll keep you posted in the coming months as to what those things are. ;) People are also ready for jamming indoors, warm drinks, sweaters, giants scarves, and boots! (But NOT the parkas, yet, thank you very much!) However

Hey there! It's the big moment.... It's time to reveal this month's feature hooper! YAAAAAAY! I have been waiting to ask this person for quite some time and it's been killing me to wait. Truthfully, I get antsy every month before I ask the next person because I have so many amazing hoopers to share with you, (and I keep meeting more) but I can only pick ONE per month... That is only TWELVE hoopers per YEAR! It's hard to pick! Hmmmm, perhaps I should have done Hooper of the We

Hey Y'all! I am just back home from the New England Flow Festival and filled with inspiration! It was a wonderful festival and the company was fantastic. I am already excited for next year and if I were you, I'd definitely consider going yourself. As I was getting ready to leave for New Hampshire, I realized I hadn't sent my Hooper of the Month a message yet!! BAH! I already had my August choice set aside, so it was just a matter of contacting her and getting her the question

July has been quite the month already... We are all melting here! Hmm... Wasn't I just writing about how I was SO DONE WITH THE COLD, like, 2 minutes ago?? Anyway... Classic Ontarian over here. Hates the cold and hates the hot. Now that I'm done with the "weather" portion of my blog, let's get to why we're all here... HOOPER OF THE MONTH! YAAAAAAAY!! This month I went with a personal friend of mine. As you know, I've been keeping an eye on my Instagram for bad asses slaying t

Happy June Hoopers! June in Toronto is magical for a hoop dancer. The weather is beautiful, the trees are full with leaves, the flow jams have begun, and we can finally toss a hoop 20 feet into the air without too much consequence. ;) Speaking of jams, there are plenty of regular and irregular flow/circus jams in our awesome city. If you are looking for a resource, you can check out the JAMS page right on this website OR there are some great groups on Facebook for last minute

Hi Hoopers, There are various reasons why I struggled with this month’s blog post… But here are the 2 main reasons: Because I have been SO SO SICK…ughghghghghhh Because this month features one of the most beautiful hoop dancers I have seen with my own two eyes… PREPARE FOR SOME GUSHING! May is my birthday month (YAY!) so I thought it would be appropriate to treat myself to an interview with my ultimate hoop crush. Not only we were lucky enough for her to agree to this, but sh

I keep seeing snow fluttering by here in Toronto, but that is not stopping me from getting overly excited about spring and summer! Siiiigh... Warm weather... a northern hooper's winter dream. The lamps and decorative glassware can come out of hiding! The TV and plants are once again safe from potential demise at the hand of a flying plastic circle. Bye, Living Room. I'm going OUTSIDE! *angelic music* Ok... So I am still wearing a parka, but I can smell spring! It is close....

Hello lovlies! Yep... had some techy-mishaps trying to get this post up last week but I finally got my schedule AND my computer working together. (Thanks, guys...) I've been especially excited to share this month's Hooper of the Month because it features someone I have known and grown to love over the last few years. It is such a pleasure to be able to continuously witness the benefits of a students regular practice in combination with my weekly teachings. I just happened to

It's February! Which means spring is closer and more importantly, outdoor hooping is almost upon us in wintery places like Toronto. Can't wait! I'm excited to announce the newest Hooper of the Month but would like to note that I am looking everywhere for the next candidate. It could be a student of mine, it could be someone on social media, it could be anyone out there being a total bad ass with a hoop I've been watching Instagram a lot lately and recently someone came into
