This week of hooping has been the best by far, considering Kayla, Nikki and Amy visited me in Arizona for a vacation. We brought hoops nearly everywhere we went, and squeezed in as much fun as humanly possible. There’s nothing better than quality time with my hoop sisters. They left me filled with joy andContinueContinue reading “January 30/30 – Week 4”

Grand Old Days Hooping Performance
We’ve always been fans of Grand Old Days in St. Paul, MN. It’s an annual celebration that includes an awesome area and community. Needless to say, we were really excited when we were asked by Growler Magazine to perform our hoop dance at their Grand Old Beer Bash and Bazaar, featuring music by The Current. In addition to usContinueContinue reading “Grand Old Days Hooping Performance”
Spring 2016 Hoop Dance Classes
Last week we ended another great hoop dance class chock-full of our favorite tricks. The five week session focused on introducing new tricks, and learning how to transition each move into a seamless hoop dance flow. We worked with a lot of off body hooping combinations including isolations, breaks, and our class favorite, super highContinueContinue reading “Spring 2016 Hoop Dance Classes”
Hoop Dance Workshop with Hoopalicious
Nikki and I had the awesome opportunity to attend “Romancing the Hoop” a workshop with the amazingly talented Anah Reichenbach (AKA Hoopalicious) last weekend. From the get-go, Anah helped us explore our connection with the hoop and touched on different ways to interact with our hoop on and off body. It was a great opportunity toContinueContinue reading “Hoop Dance Workshop with Hoopalicious”
Hoop Transfer to Arizona
The Twistin Vixens have gone national! As of February, 2016 I have officially moved my whole life and a hefty pile of hoops from St. Cloud, Minnesota to Scottsdale, Arizona. After a year of toying with the idea, my husband received a job offer in Phoenix, and we made the decision to go for it! As excited as I amContinueContinue reading “Hoop Transfer to Arizona”

2015 Year in Review
This year’s hooping has been more out of control than any other yet. We started off the year being nominated for the “2015 Best Performance Group of the Year” by Hooping.org. And continued twisting together hooping performances all year long—sometimes three in one day during the busy summertime. Our hoop dance performances included: a roller derby halftime show, a MayContinueContinue reading “2015 Year in Review”
Missed Hoopiversaries
This summer was a busy one. So busy, I neglected to celebrate my 6th Hoopiversary (which, if you’re a hooper, you know is a big deal) way back in June, and we never celebrated the 5th anniversary of the Twistin Vixen’s in September either! It’s not to late to acknowledge it though, right? I dedicate this video to honorContinueContinue reading “Missed Hoopiversaries”
