Hi! I’m Toni of Tonikikii Performance Arts. I have been hooping since April 2014 and teaching and performing since early 2016. Hooping quickly became a passion for me. As soon as I nailed that first trick I realized this was something that I could easily get lost in. I spent hours upon hours watching videos, chatting on message boards, and throwing hoops across rooms just to land the newest trick. Eventually, I stopped focusing so much on tricks, and started focusing on being connected with my hoop and treating it more as a dance partner than a prop. When I learned to let go, I gained a whole new sense of self confidence and open mindedness for the world around me. It completely changed my life
