A Little About Myself
I am a Native American hoop dancer. I love hoop dancing and feel lucky to be able to do it.
Right now, I dance with five hoops. I also compete in other dance categories at Native American powwows. I use footwork from jingle, sidestep, and fancy shawl in my hoop dancing.
I wanted to hoop dance as far back as I could remember. When I was a toddler, I met my first hoop dancer. I so clearly remember watching her spinning and dancing with the hoops. When I turned ten, I started hoop dancing with the help and encouragement of that same dancer.
My family is of course Native. Lots of my family dances at powwows. I, however, am the only hoop dancer. I like being unique.
Some people think that hoop dancers only dance. This is not true. Besides hoop dancing, I'm an honors student, a violinist, on a competitive basketball team, and write piano/violin notes. Plus, I'm now a blogger.

Are you still hoop dancing? My son is going to be receiving his Eagel award for Boy Scouts and when I received mine a long time ago they had some dancers come and performed. It was a highlight of the award presentation.
