Happy Veterans Day and happy World Hoop Day! YES! There IS such a thing as World Hoop Day.
October was an insanely busy month. We had out of town visitors several weekends in a row and spent one weekend out of town visiting friends in Philly. My friend Megan and I carried around our hoops and did some hooping in fun neighborhoods.
My first hoop class has been going fantastic. I’m having a blast sharing it with others and we’re starting to really get into the groove. I’m so happy to be creating some more hoopers for the Herndon area.
I thought today I’d share a video of my hoop progression, going month-by-month.
And here’s another of my newest LED hoop:
For anyone who’s considering it, my next set of classes begins in January with the Town of Herndon’s Parks and Recreation Department. I believe it’ll be an eight week class (of beginner hooping) and will be between $60-$80 depending on if you live in-town or out-of-town. Registration for in-town begins sometime around Dec. 7-9 and for out-of-town registration begins somewhere around Dec. 14. Sign up early because my current class filled up quickly and had a wait list. In the space we have I can take about 13-15 hoopers.

Hope you all pick up your hoops for World Hoop Day!

Leslie, you are an inspiration and a really awesome hooper. I’ve enjoyed watching (each and every one, I think) of the videos you’ve posted, and it’s been so cool to watch.
When my back is better, I need to build better core muscles, and I’ve already told Steve I want to buy another hoop so I have one here and one in the park. It just looks so darn fun that I need to get better at it!!! (and heal first, of course, but then get better!!)
You rock!!
Thank you Stacey!!! (I really need to keep up with my site better!) Whenever you’re ready I SOOOO want to come hoop with you. Also, check out this chick. She’s my hero. She’s a huge advocate for hoopers of all shapes and sizes, plus her video is just really cute. Her actual hooping starts about two minutes in, but she’s adorable up until then, too.
