if you've never heard of anah reichenbach, she's pretty much the inventor of hoopdance. i just stumbled on this video of her jamming out after a workshop she taught a couple of years ago, and i am so in love with it. not only is her musicality excellent (which is something i always look for in a hooping video, and is sadly usually missing), but she is truly just dancing. except for a few tricks (which are of course mind-blowing), she's just rocking out effortlessly. it's like, "oh here i am shaking it at a club... oh, do i have a hoop around my waist? i hadn't noticed."

i'm bookmarking this video... i need to remember it every time i'm intimidated by someone who can do a bajillion tricks, i need to rememebr that you can have a blast and look super-cool by just working it and having fun.

Thank you for posting that! She makes it look so effortless and fun. Makes me wish I brought my hoop here on the road.

Also: I love her outfit sooooo much. Where the hell does one buy clothes like that?!

I bet you somewhere in the back is a Gap Inc. stylist all dosed up on Red Bull, scribbling her outfit for the Athleta catalog.

i know! although if i wore that, somehow i'd manage to get the hoop caught in the fringe and i'd end up strangling myself.

Yes!! Thanks for posting that! It's really inspirational. I also get really intimidated with folks that can do a million tricks (and have awesome flow), but this is a great reminder of why I love hooping - for the dancing part of it. We all just have to find our own groove and go with it. This vid is so much fun - I can't wait to get this cast off my foot and really start hooping again.
