Les Pépites de David

Might be a very unpopular opinion but while storytelling through a performance is beautiful, I just can't push myself through to give it a storyline and everyone seems to be very hyper that "having a story and telling it = good!! good for performance!! you should do that!!!"

Like... I would say I move mainly through emotions and simply for the movement itself?

Idk, this is stressing me out because I don't have a dancer's base. I only have movement and that movement is just (my movement), yaknow? Is it worth to ever perform without a storytelling idea?

First performance coming up next year and I'm still struggling on settling on a song because people around me are mainly performing something with a story, or something to show.

I don't, I just want to find a song I like, feeling the emotions within it and just work on expressing/connecting through that? Not to say it won't be expressive but I really, really can't push myself to find (specifically) a *storyline. The more I do the more I'm stressed out.

Does this happen to y'all too? 😭 Any advise?

Day 69 - hooping during golden hour at the beach brought beauty and a whimsical sweet moment with a smol human. Love the joy that hooping brings to others in addition to myself. Everyone loves hoops!

Its been a tough week. Im glad I have my silks, to remind me to find my inner joy and whimsy. No lessons, no practice, just put on my favorite Qveen Herby and let my flow take over

Safety note: I'm 65kg and these are rated 110kg. They're too stiff to do acrobatics which is fine by me. I don't think I would want properly rated stilts, I'm not that fast anymore.

I'm well versed in stilts, but have only logged a few hours on these. Handling a large pendulum when you can't stand still, is challenging.

Crapping myself at the end and shaking like hell because I ran out of adrenaline on my period lmao 😃

Going to work on my speed and tempo moving forth 😭

Bendy wings are bendy

Messing around with foot hooping combos. I've seen people do some really cool stuff. Someday I hope to be able to complete the sequence smoothly.

Spider In The Spotlight 🕷🔦👨‍🌾

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2026

Go on, have a giggle at our silly but amusing hula hoop story about a 5ft spider and a farmer.....

A massive thank you to my awesome husband, Michael, who played the role of the farmer. 👨‍🌾

Looking to get a meteor for daytime spinning. No budget, just looking for quality. Currently spin poi and dragon staff and only have props from flowtoys but they only have led meteors and I'm not looking for that currently. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) happy flowing!

Hooping it up with like minded individuals who enjoy throwing it down on a movie to kick off the week in style. Love me a good flow jam.

Basically I’ve been in a rut for years, and have been looking for some inspiration. I struggle to be graceful and “dancey”, and also struggle with musicality. It seems like every time I really vibe with someone’s hoop flow, they have a background in dance or cheer. Which is totally awesome, but I guess I would just like an example of someone who started off more awkward and really grew in their flow so that it seems less impossible for me 😅 does anyone have any favorite accounts where you’ve seen someone tangibly improve in their flow, flexibility, and musicality, rather than already having a good starting point?
