I havent watched any tutorials or received any instruction on poi-style hooping. Especially not with big hoops. That didnt stop me from trying, though! :)Blogged here: http://www.kitchencourage.com/2010/02/i-want-spring.html
Pretty good Beth!
Last weekend I saw a great hope dancer perform at the local Kiwanis Stars of Tomorrow talent show. Not at all like the hula-hoopers seen in old 50's/60's films, her dance was a cross between Maori, Polynesian, and Jazz/Modern. It was quite good and very entertaining.
