Hey everyone. I was just curious if any of you guys are into hooping. (Dance)

I've been dancing since I was a kid. Lots of different types, I did jazz dance as a child and then grew into a teen and discovered the trance/electronic rave scene. I even got into gogo dance/exotic dance for awhile. Only recently I discovered the hula hoop and I'm in love. I like that it has all the sexiness of exotic dance but without being slutty. Plus it's a great workout (my midsection is more TONED than it's ever been and I've only been at it a month or so)

The power and beauty I feel when hooping really goes hand in hand with the vitality of my high-raw lifestyle so I was thinking there might be a lot of other raw food hoopers out there. If not, there should be!

Here is a vid of some dancing (this isn't me, lol she's got more skillz than I currently have!)

I'd like to get this good. So far I've learned to take the hoop off in both directions (hooping to the left and to the right) but I haven't been able to put it on or do the vortex yet.

Well I'll quit rambling until I see if anyone else is actually into it and wants to chat about it.

I always wanted to learn this, and poi though just with ribbons (fire poi is too stinky for me). I'll have to be satisfied just watching for now though, I'm too busy for it at the moment. It's so interesting to watch.

I've tried poi as well, but it didn't end up sticking with me. Although it is fun! I think this is a better workout. But oh does it bruise you up. I have bruises all over my body and the really huge nasty one on my side/hip bone is starting to heal up.

On a positive note, that is showing just how fast all my raw salads and juicing are healing my body. Bruises have never healed this fast before. I used to get bruises that would last months sometimes! :\

The digit dance is really cool too. I had an awesome friend who used to do that at raves with these cool light up gloves, it rocked.

I learned poi, WITH fire, believe me, you learn A LOT faster when fear is involved...hahahahaaa... seriously though, the guy who taught me said he never saw anyone learn so fast (to be fair I also soaked my body with water be4 every try, so what burns I did get where minimal, and I soaked my head, and a had and wore the hat to make sure it couldnt get my hair...)

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Sweet! I've learned some new moves! It's awesome how as long as you keep hooping every day, you learn. Even without trying.
