This awesome video of last weekend’s Act A Fool in Edmonton is a pretty good taste of the kind of event that it was, but more importantly, it contains footage of some people in the spin community who I respect and admire and just plain love to hoop with. And yes, I stayed out way [...]

I get asked a lot where I find my music and/or playlists.  Lately I’ve been really hooked on going to last.fm and choosing either a genre or a favorite artist and just letting the internet radio station take me where it wants me to go.  It’s been really, really good down here in my practice [...]

On February 24, I had the privilege of providing a performance and demo for the students of JH Picard as part of the festivities during their annual 24-hour bike-a-thon raising money for Cops For Cancer. They were an extremely appreciative audience and an awesome little army of hoopers, too. Thank you for a very fun [...]

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to Australia in January and to attend Spin Festival 2011, a two-day multi-prop workshop held in Melbourne. It was an eye-opening weekend as a Canadian hooper observing the differences in techniques and styles of hooping from one country to another, and there was no shortage [...]

Hello Edmonton! I’m back from Oz and ready to dig in to 2011 with some brand new classes.  We’re already one week into four of our new series, and it is so great to be back in the classroom again.  Plus, I’m happy to announce that there will be a west end hoop class starting [...]
