The week of April 5th, was an AWESOME class! We had Allison Surber come and facilitate a hula hooping class. She talked a little bit about her journey to the how she got to be hula hooping and where it has taking her. Seeing her spirit and her love for it was inspiring. You could see and feel the passion and the love that she has for this activity. This has inspired me to find something that I can connect with, as she connected with hooping. After her short presentation we were able to make our own hoops, which was probably my favorite part of the whole activity. I made a small hoop for arm hooping. We were also able to make them our own by decorating them with different color duct tape. The tape not only makes your hula hoop look amazing but it helps with traction. Mine was purple and orange. It was fun to sit with the class and chat about our hoops that we were making, while listening to music. It was really neat to see how the others decorated theirs. After we had decorated our hoops Allison went through a short warm-up and a cool-down with us. What I learned from Allison is that the reason why I was so excited about hula hooping was because of her. This is something that I want to bring to my job. That passion, love and spirit that is able to intrigue, motivate and excite the participants that your working with.
