Hey all,

It's been a while and I figured I would write something in regards to all that has been happening in the world of Soolah Hoops!  I just returned from Sturgis out in South Dakota and had a super fun time performing!  Lots and lots of fire play for me and was able to do some things that I had never done before.  It's been a kind of pushing the boundaries time for me and that included fire dance tools.  My poor flamebrella fell apart while I was performing on stage...:(  We tried to create another but modern day umbrella's are really not that sturdy at all!  It started to fall apart right away.  Hopefully, I can have another created that is sturdier because I really loved the beauty of that fire toy! 

In it's place came a fire staff which I had never really played with before.  Still recouping from an injury to my thumb during the Frederick Fire works (yeah a cartwheel uphill with a flaming hoop snapped something!) it made it a little difficult to twirl around but I figured out how to do so without too much aggravation to that thumb.  I also found that I could balance the thing on my head pretty effectively.  Then I got to balancing my hoop on my head as well when the fire wicks got down to 3 or 4 lit wicks.  I snagged out some belly dance moves I had seen and learned and I had another technique to my dance.   

I have also begun to dabble with poi which was something I was hoping to do years ago but was intimidated by.  Having a ball of fire possibly hit you in the face was never something I was up for but since I have hoop moves that incorporate poi moves I found I was able to do it.  Seems my fire abilities will be broadening now with a few more types of toys so that is really good.  Now to just continue to practice them all.

I recently stopped working at my day job after finding my exhaustion levels high.  If some of you have followed me you will know my schedule was a bit insane.  When you hear a million times over "HOW are you DOING all of this?!?!"  You know there may be a problem.  You kind of find that you can't see life half the time because it is passing you by so quickly.  I can say I think I see it now more than ever.  I have realized my exhaustion levels too and know that it could have gotten way more detrimental if I had continued the way I had. I have new ideas rolling around for my personal future with hoops and hope to get that rolling out at least by 2012 if not before then.  Stay tuned for more! 
I am booking festivals, shows and workshops for myself and for Pyrophoric right now which is pretty exciting.  I am facilitating my Adult Hoop Dance Workshop at FCC this year which is very exciting to me.  I am working on finishing my teacher training as well so that is coming in the next few weeks.  I am also doing a music video shoot with my amazing friends Frenchy and the Punk in September!  I am really looking forward to this!    
I have more coming down the pike  as I said but wanted to get something out there to those reading this blog that was a little more up to date...:)  Hope everyone is doing well and Happy Hooping!Soolah
