I was so very happy about getting the next section of the World Hoop Day choreography sorted out that I was dancing with joy and flair - and not enough grip.

Two years ago today, I took my first hoop class with Deanne of Hooplovers. Today, I was Deanne’s substitute teacher in the same “Beginners and Beyond” class.

How cool is that?

I sure do love hooping. It is pretty much all I ever do either directly or indirectly. I don’t see this changing any time soon. In fact, there maybe a hooping tattoo in my future. Maybe one of these:

I also celebrated my second hoopiversary by choreographing a verse of the World Hoop Day dance. More about that soon…
