Laura and Gabi stand out in my mind as Amazonian wonder women who could potentially take over the entire hooping world. With their towering heights (6 feet and maybe over each) funky styles and earthy, real and approachable personalities, I really see these two Texans taking the nation by storm! Phenomenal teaching skills, not to mention stage and Pilates skillz!

Anna peeks out in my mind next. Her sassy, sexy and playful pixie energy led us on a wonderful dance journey. I can't wait to see what she creates with the spiritual Beth and the jaded, yet spirited and bold Marilyn! Wisconsin goddesses!

Danielle with her hulahoopla.org launches into my conciousness. An eternal smile! An unshakable confidence and enthusiasm. Watch out world!

Tisha! Down to earth gypsy babe extrodinare with shimmy shaking energy, creative imagery and accessibility. I love how real you are. Keep rockin those rough LA communities and schoolkids.

Krisanna and your downplayed sensuality. You maybe have started out quiet but your smoking moves and flirtateous photo shoot revealed your bold side! Burlesque star turned hoopdance teacher. I can't wait to see how your classes evolve in Riverside.

Jennifer from Santa Barbara! Last but how could you ever be least??! You strode forth in confidence and even though you arrived saying you couldn't imagine being a teacher, your teaching demonstrated for all of us what is possible. Articulate, concise, inspirational and encouraging with your refrain of, "Yes YOU CAN!!!!". I loved it!

And the support of Andi. Always there, always anticipating every need, always full of brilliance and enthusiasm. Thank you!!!!! Your support allowed the good times to flow.

I feel truly blessed to have been able to share the HoopGirl work with these women. Thank you!
