A proper presentation of my project here in Geneva.

New to hula hooping and wondering what the right hula hoop is for you? Choosing the 'right' hoop can feel like a daunting task. Well, here is a beginner's introduction to the world of hula hoop sizes and tubing

Hooping or hula hooping, also known as hoop dance is a combination of technical movements, mixed with freestyle (free expression), and classical dance moves. Hula hoops most often come in various forms of plastic (PE, PEX, polycarbonate, polypropylene) but can also come in either metal or wood. Hula hooping today is a much different activity from the classic toy crazy of your childhood. Modern 'hoopers' (people who hoop), on average, use hula hoops that are much larger in diameter and heavier than the toy hoops you will find at your local children's toy store (especially if you are a beginner). 

Romain and I left Huntington Beach and moved to Marseille in January 2014. When we arrived, for me, it was the classic fish out of water story. Coupled with a massive language barrier. For those of you who do not know, Romain is French from the northeast of France. And though he is not 'Marseillais' by birth, he did spend most of his childhood in the city and was kind enough to pass on the tips and tricks of a local to me. After living six years in Marseille and thanks to the countless activities with our hula hoop association. There is not a part of this city we have not walked, and  we do not know. 


Getting ready to say good-bye to a place that has for many years been our home. I started looking back at the photos and videos on our Instagram account. Reminiscing about how we spent our time in Marseille working on association Hoop de Mars. And thinking about how much life has changed since my pregnancy and Charles' subsequent birth.
