My name is Carrin, and I have recently started Hoop Dancing. I have started this journal to document the process of learning and improving my practice of Hula Hooping/Hoop Dancing. My hope is that this will help other people who want to learn more about Hoop Dance, or just learn to Hula Hoop.

I decided to start my own journal, separate from many of the other forums that exist for hoopers, because I wasn't really finding anything that was exactly what I wanted . . . a journal AND a place to post my videos and links to other people's websites and videos that have helped me in my process. Personally, I have found a lot of inspirational stuff on the internet, but many of the videos are of experienced hoopers who have already mastered many of the basics. While they are inspirational, those videos can be very frustrating too. I recall being disheartened when I couldn't do many of those tricks, they all made it seem so easy, and nothing was coming easy to me in the beginning. I rarely ever found any footage of hoop dancers in the process of learning, and I truly felt it would have helped. So, I want to create that for others who are just starting, or still learning, like me!

I will be using this space to share my practice videos, my thoughts, my hoop goals, and all other things related to hooping that are a part of my life. I will also post various things that have helped me learn to move forward with my hoop practice, as well as performaces and activities that are upcoming in my area.

Please feel free to ask me anything about hooping, if I know it I will share it.
