25.01.2022 When you get a new romper that is as cute as this, there's only one thing to do... Hula hoop, get silly, dance, play, giggle. Oh wait, that's 4 things. Whatevs!! Do them all!!!! Romper by Zion & Poppy Acrobatics

25.01.2022 One of my fav things about hula hooping is community! And, if there is one thing I learnt in 2020 (and believe me, there were soooo many lessons), it is the power, importance and survival that stems from COMMUNITY. So, let's find one another, let's connect, let's meet each other in a park and spin, let's hoop! Let's drop our locations below and see what happens... I'll start...

25.01.2022 Manan won the Loopy Luna Colouring competition. He was so excited about receiving the autographed book in the mail that he created this YouTube video to be able to share the story with the world. He reads it so beautifully. Made my heart pop.

24.01.2022 Dance in the circle of light. Stand tall. Breathe deep. Let fun happen. Allow the joy to flow in and out.... Dance in the circle of light. Photo credit: Psymon Photography Hoop: Hyperion Hoop

24.01.2022 I've been having so much fun hooping and adventuring that I have hardly been filming! Diving deep into the present moment, having some time off and allowing the day to take me. Soooo, I have no new flow vids to share with you! Here is a flashback to mid-lockdown when I was going to my friend's beautiful warehouse home (while he was at work so covid-safe) to hoop and move and have time out of my apartment so Donna not go crazy crazy. Track by Moloko. P.S. I have a feeling th...is video is really pixelated. I have no idea why. Sorry! Oh, and if you wanna come hoop with me, classes start back on the 19 Jan: https://www.hoopsparx.com/product-category/classes/

23.01.2022 If you don't already follow Rachael Lust then now's the time! Rachael is a total inspiration, bad-ass hooper, amazing teacher and all-round lovely human. Oh, and she just set a world record for the most consecutive chin-ups while hula hooping!

22.01.2022 Are you ready to get Dirrty?! Let's do this... Ideal for beginner or intermediate hoopers, in this four-week course, Pixie Olive will teach a powerful, sassy and booty-shaking hoop routine to the dance floor classic Dirrty by Christina Aguilera. Created with the intention to support hoopers to open up and find confidence in their movement, Olive will teach you a cheeky routine that fuses commercial dance, hoop tech and show-stopping movement. With her background in theatre an...d burlesque, you will be guided on how to add your own personality, character and flavour to the routine and make it your own whilst learning new tricks and movement along the way. Be prepared to shake your booty, this is going to get Dirrty. 4 week course kicks off on 28 April: https://www.hoopsparx.com/shop/product/booty-hoop-dance/ About Olive: Blooming from a background in a vast number of dance styles such as hip-hop, street jazz and theatre, Olive brings a unique flair to hooping with her finely crafted fusion of sass, dance and hoop tech. She specialises in teaching hoop-dance, integrating elements from a range of styles with hoop flow to create a playful environment that provides hoopers with the tools and guidance to open and develop confidence in their range of movement and personal style. Olive teaches powerful and cheeky hoop dance routines that allow hoopers to not just move their hoop, but dance with it, add their own sass and flavour to it, and absolutely own it.

22.01.2022 One for the kids! Learn the hoopy handshake - and the whole family can get involved. Get in touch if you want a FAMILY HOOP SESSION or a PRIVATE LESSON to spice up these school holidays and add some giggle, sparkle and FUN!! Or, maybe you want to gift one to a friend in Melbourne during this extended lockdown...

22.01.2022 When someone ordered hoops and Loopy Luna books and it turned out they live 400m from me... I sparkled up and hand delivered during my 1 hour state-sanctioned exercise. And then I received this text message (with a video of 4 year old Oscar hooping): "Oscar is no longer Oscar, we have to call him Donna and he is practicing the moves.... He loved seeing you today, although a little shy. He has been watching the video I took all afternoon and was beyond excited to show it to his mum and dad. Thanks so much" Felt so good to perform again.

21.01.2022 This was one of the best emails I've ever received. It was from 70 year old Noel who ordered a hula hoop from me in March. Here's what he had to say about it... If you want in on the Noel vibe, I can hook you up with a practise hoop just like his right here ;) www.hoopsparx.com/shop

20.01.2022 It's Spring! And I've been blowing dandelions and now I wanna blow kisses - which really isn't advisable during a pandemic and is near impossible with a mask on soooo, instead I'm going to do it virtually with this flash sale! 10% of all private online lessons for kids and adults until 8pm Sunday.

18.01.2022 In the spirit of R U OK Day and Jean Hailes for Women's Health Women's Health Week, I have decided to share with you something a little more personal - some of the things I have learnt through not being ok as well as the things I have been doing over the past few months to look after myself. What do you do to take care of yourself? 1. Practising awareness of my privilege because therein lies humility and gratitude 2. Embracing connection & support from friends & family 3. M...aking delicious meals. Presenting them as though I’ve made them for a new lover 4. Crochet. So far I’ve made a penis & a queer punk anarchist zebra. 5. Noticing the little things & blowing dandelions when I see them 6. Daily walk 7. Pampering the shit outta my face 8. Wearing a full sequin sparkle mask 9. Candlelit baths 10. Arranging little things in little places around the house, little collections of joy and giggles 11. Hula hooping as often as I feel like it 12. Daily cuddles with doggo 13. Started doing pilates, yoga & circus training again via Zoom 14. Putting on music every day, dancing round the kitchen 15. Waking up early enough to see the sunrise at least once a week 16. Teaching hoop classes online and feeling CONNECTED and INSPIRED And I wasn't ok all the time. And I'm still not sometimes. But I have learnt a LOT. Here's the latest learnings from my world: 1. Be real. Be vulnerable. Show yourself. Because then the people who can truly see you and hold you, will. 2. I am more capable than I know. You probably are too! 3. Allow the feels. All of them. No matter how ugly, how loud, how soft, how weird. Emotion has the word motion is it for a reason. Let them move. 4. If you feel disconnected, send love letters to friends and family. 5. Even though it may feel like the loneliness and sadness live so deep they will never go away, know that it's ok. It is our life's journey to learn to live with grief and there is freedom in that. 6. Ask for the support you need because most people want to help and don't know how. 7. Self-awareness is key. Do the work. 8. Humans are not binary. We are many parts, sometimes opposing parts all at once. And that is 100% ok.

17.01.2022 Where's your inner ninja at? I promise you won't look as sad as I do in this cover image when you pick up a hoop and learn this weave!

15.01.2022 Another stunning collaboration by hoopers from around the globe thanks to the wonderful teachings, choreography and creativity of It's Just Pete - Performing. This routine was taught over 4 weeks and voila! Connection in the times of covid. Track: Obxessed by Fire Choir If you need some spin, dance and giggle in Spring, next term starts in less than 2 weeks: https://www.hoopsparx.com/book-now/classes/

14.01.2022 A perfect reminder as the year begins... Children's books can teach us so much.

14.01.2022 As soon as COVID is over, I'm going to ___________. (Finish with predictive text)As soon as COVID is over, I'm going to ___________. (Finish with predictive text)

14.01.2022 HOT TIP #2: Sometimes you just need a bigger hoop. This is the second hot tip in a series of...ummm...infinity!! My idea is to create a collection of posts based on things I wish I would have known when I first started hooping. I formed so many bad habits and made things so much harder for myself simply because I didn't know any other way. Do you have any hot tips that you wish you knew when you first started hooping? Any advice to give new hoopers? Let me know! I wonder how big we can make this HOT TIPS collection?!!

13.01.2022 Posing for the camera is not my strong point - well, at least that is the story in my head! I was pretty happy when I did this photoshoot with @Scott Sandars and his only direction was "you just hula hoop and I'll take photos". Here's a little vid I took during our shoot.

13.01.2022 It's with much excitement I present to you this absolute gem - taught and created by It's Just Pete - Performing during the last 4 week hoop dance choreo course. CONGRATULATIONS to all the hoopers who showed up, hooped, danced, challenged themselves, practised and created this beautiful dance. Track: 'Soy Yo' by BOMBA ESTEREO... Join in the fun and check out our new Beginners, Intermediate and Hoopercise classes: https://www.hoopsparx.com/book-now/classes/

We will learn a series of 2 hoop moves that join together into a two hoop routine. https://www.hoopsparx.com/product-category/classes/

11.01.2022 Remember that time when I was allowed out of my house? And out of Melbourne? And when I could high five kids at festivals and spin hoops all over the place. Yeah - they were goooood times!! And, as my 5yo niece reminded me the other day - "you'll be able to do it all again when this is over". Apollo Bay Seafood Festival 2020 - you were GRAND!

09.01.2022 #TBT Little did I know when I taught this class that it would be the last face to face class I would teach in who knows how long. At this point in time, my suburb was one of the hotspots, hence why I was wearing a mask. It wasn't long after that when all of Melbourne became a hotspot and now, only a matter of weeks later, we are in the midst of a Stage 4 lockdown. Stay safe everyone! Stay connected to one another. Keep moving through it all. And, if you want to hula hoop together, come hang out with us online!

07.01.2022 On New Year's Day, I was at a friends house playing with my hula hoop. And I discovered a sweet new way to get into a reverse escalator - from a palm spin. It's always when I'm not trying, not concentrating, not push push pushing that I find new things. Another life lesson brought to you by the hula hoop P.S. Classes start 19 January with really limited spaces cos of COVID Safety and all those things.

07.01.2022 Thank you Being able to do what I love for a living is a blessing - but, it does get lonely sometimes. Messages like these make my heart swell and, on the hard days, remind me why I do what I do; remind me why I walked away from a steady income to follow my passion and teach hula hooping. Because I love connecting with people through play. I love breaking down super tricky moves and witnessing people's faces when they realise they can do it. I love encouraging p...eople to find out what's possible by doing what they thought was impossible. Because that's what I did! I never thought I would become a hula hoop teacher because I had no background in circus, dance or gymnastics. Because I started "too late". Because I was "too unco". Because...[insert all other limiting beliefs here]. And you know what, I found something I loved and I showed up. I told my head to shut up and I allowed myself to PLAY, to MOVE, to DANCE. I learnt something through all this - it doesn't matter so much what your head tells you as what you choose to action. Actions changes thoughts, thoughts change feelings. This is transformation.

04.01.2022 Spring has arrived in Melbourne. It's time for hula hooping and blowing dandelions. Everything is feeling a little lighter.

02.01.2022 It’s a strange time. 2020 thus far has been preeeeeetty interesting, colourful, challenging, and a wee bit chaotic. I’m here to remind you that if you’re anything like me and finding yourself seriously starting to lack motivation, then this blog is for you - and a hula hoop. It has links to a Sweatstorm Cardio Blast, Shoulder Workout and Tricep Workout so you can sweat, giggle, tone and get some endorphins flowing.

02.01.2022 The Shoulder Hooping and Breaks Masterclases are only a week away and with just a few tix left, now is the time to book your hoop space and get ready to dive deep into Shoulder Hooping and get your breaks ninja on.

ABOUT THE SESSIONS Both workshops are capped at 12 people and are designed for beginners and more advanced hoopers. Location: Irene's Warehouse

02.01.2022 If there was one thing I learned from 2020, it was how important community and connection are; how important it is to have people in your world who see you, hear you, hold you and love you for all of YOU. May 2021 bring you loads of giggles, joy, play, connection, adventure, rest, nourishment, creativity, presence, inspiration, love, movement and all the other things you hope and wish for. May this be a year that intention and manifestation are strong, the year that you have all the right people in your world. And hoops. May there always be hoops.

02.01.2022 WIN a POLYPRO hoop!!! How? 1 Guess how many hoops I'm hooping in this picture. 2 Like Hoop Sparx 3 Tag a friend... All correct answers will be thrown into a hat and drawn on 30 September. COLOUR. POLYPRO. YES. No fun was had in the making of this video. Seriously, none at all ;) 2 for $45. Australian made. Great for breaks, twins and off-body madness. https://www.hoopsparx.com/prod/practise-polypro-hula-hoops/

02.01.2022 LATEST TUTORIAL!!!! The third, final and most challenging weave in this series of 3 turning weaves that require no tricky grip switches. The idea behind these gripped turning weaves is that they will totally open up your flow - because they are gripped moves they are impossible to drop. Once you learn the moves, the confidence that you'll build will allow you to flow more freely. Turning Weave #3 includes an extra rotation and a hip reel to pull the body through the turn. I...t happens on the same side of the body as the hand that is holding the hoop. This tutorial also includes foot-work details to assist with the turn and a bunch of troubleshooting and tips too. Prerequisite is a side plane weave. Tutorial here for that one: https://youtu.be/ghhcLYrDkeU And you can check out Turning Weave #1 here: https://youtu.be/6qxHJHO3-5g And Turning Weave #2 here: https://youtu.be/My_AQZhQ__U Remember the 3P's: Practise, patience and persistence!
