Alaska State Fair Hooping

I had a booth at the Alaska State Fair this year! Ten days, ten hours a day hooping. It was good crazy fun.

Cosmic Hoops heads South for the Winter

Kammi and AmyLou of Cosmic Hoops have headed south for the winter! We're now in sunny Guanajuato where we are working speaking Spanish. It's going to take as much work as learning to chest hoop in the second direction it seems. Many clumsy attempts before we become graceful.

I (Kammi) brought about ten hoops plus my LED hoop, and my firehoop with me. Thankfully, the airlines didn't charge me extra for the big bubble wrapped package, but I did have to rent a bigger car than I'd reserved because the hoops didn't fit in the back of the PT Cruiser I was going to cruise around LA in. So I had to get a minivan.





Bringing the hoops in Mexico has been amusing too. No one understood what "hula hoops" were until I pantomimed the motion of spiraling my hips, and then "ahah!" it finally made sense. Some hooper friends who have traveled to Mexico suggested that I call it "hula hula" pronounced like "oola oola" and people would understand it better. And it's true! Everyone understands "oola oola" and makes the confirming spiraling motion with their hips to prove the understand.




We've noticed that there is a gym here, strangely called UnderFit that offers Yoga, Zumba, Pilates and other classes, and I'm going to go there and see if I can start teach "English Immersion HoopDance" classes. Maybe by the end of my six weeks learning Spanish at Academia Falcon I can teach the Hoop classes en espanol.

I'll keep you posted of our hooping adventures in Guanajuato!
