This Island, void of any hope of a male dance lead, practically pushed me to despair in the 17 years of living here. Enter hoops. Hooping feels like dancing with a very good ballroom dance partner, Or an obsessed Salsero. A partner that responds to every move I make. The PERFECT dance partner. I push that way, it goes that way. I pull this way, It comes toward me. Never leaving my side. Keeping up with every move I make. I love hula hooping. It takes me to another place. #ho
