I feel like at this point I know a lot of hoop moves and tricks. Maybe dozens even, I don't even know how to count them all (I mean, what qualifies as a hoop trick? Surely something like knee or shoulder hooping isn't so much a trick as a movement....?). In any case, I can move the hoop this way and that way, twist it around, turn in all different directions with it, break and reverse, etc etc. Every new move or trick learned is a way to unlock new flow, and really there are probably infinite combinations when you know that many moves.
So why do I sometimes feel bored? Stuck in the same ruts, over and over again? This move to that move, weave forwards, tuck, toss, catch, flow this way, flow that way, lather, rinse repeat. I'm sure that in any given song/dance I am doing a lot of different moves in many different combinations, and yet I feel like it is not interesting enough. This of course is not true, it is plenty interesting. And I am always trying to come up with new ways to flow. Still......
I think this is more of a mindset than anything else, so I try not to think about it so much. I mean I keep learning new tricks and incorporating them into my dance and I still feel like I don't know enough to keep it interesting. But I know that to an outside set of eyes viewing my dancing for the first time, it probably does look really cool and not boring at all.
This is all part of the fun I guess!
