  Wonderful hooping space in need of wonderful hoopers!

  So I felt I did the leg work but no one showed up to my first class last night. It is an incredible space, one with some sentimental attachments for sure. It’s the cafeteria/auditorium of my elementary school.

  Now I’m offering up some incentives so please spread the word!
  If you pay cash, you get $12 off a 6-series class. If you get 2 friends to sign up, I will make you a custom hoop!

  Heading out to Burning Man for some needed rebooting.  So many lovely hoopers will be there and I hope to find and play with all of them!

  Holy smokes! Just got back from 10 days in San Francisco attending my HoopGirl Level 2 Teacher Training AND HoopGirl Performance Training.  It seems strange to be back at home and not walking to the studio every morning where I was surrounded by strong, supportive goddesses!  I feel a shift in myself…hard to explain…but this morning I am going to take my boyfriend to my studio and perform for him for his birthday. *prrrrrr*

  My hooping life is looming large! Had a wonderful coffee chat with my hoop wife and she had amazing ideas about a hooping hub for PDX.  My head is swirling with possibilities.

  My mother is helping with the rent on the studio.
  Talked to a very helpful woman at the school district about renting a school gym for classes — lots of steps and timing.
  Waiting for FedEx to bring my new custom iPod which I intend to load with inspirational music for my students.
  Making a custom hoop  for Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick today! Fire hoop training on Saturday!
  Gotta do taxes…lots of write-offs this year.  sheesh.  not even out of my pjs yet and I’m exhausted! but in a good way.

  I’m sending out good vibes this morning in hopes of finding a wonderful space in which to teach hoopdance long-term. Inner east side would be ideal, weekday evening availability would be lovely. A school gym? A church basement with very, very tall ceilings? I’ve been looking at Portland Parks & Rec, neighborhood studios and dance halls, big-name gym classes, etc. but would love to find that perfect fit. Any parents out there have access to their child’s gym year-round? Is there a new, cozy dance studio I haven’t discovered that needs one more tenant?
  Let’s chat!

  I know I will find that space…the space filled with amazing people spilling exuberant energy out into the room.

  Happy Hooping!
