										&lt;div&gt;12 tips to transform basic hoop moves into your own unique hoop dance style&#xD;
&#xD;
1.  exaggerate / energize&#xD;
make a move BIG by engaging the muscles used for the move...this generates energy and ignites enthusiasm&#xD;
2.  repeat repeat repeat&#xD;
take a simple move and repeat it twice, three times or more&#xD;
3.  tap it&#xD;
tap the hoop on various parts of your body..and the ground too!&#xD;
4.  balance / grace&#xD;
balance on one leg similar to any yoga balancing pose or graceful dancer's pose..add graceful fluid arms and a soft face..smile!  : )&#xD;
5.  mudra magic&#xD;
inject expressive hand positions...traditional yoga mudras such as prayer hands or make up your own&#xD;
6.  stretch / counter stretch &#xD;
make movements in opposite pairs...after a forward bend, bend backwards; after a lunge, add a flexed leg position&#xD;
7.  ascend / descend&#xD;
move from tip toes to squats; from reaching up to bowing down&#xD;
8.  hoop as prop (think cane dancing)&#xD;
 reach up around and through it with arms and legs -- tap it twirl it and toss it!&#xD;
9.  drishti&#xD;
in yoga, drishti is your gaze point -- .let your gaze follow the movement of your hoop, your arm or your mudra (hand position)&#xD;
10. mix it up&#xD;
change the tempo at appropriate times .. fast and furious / slow and slinky ... let the music move you&#xD;
11. spin your story&#xD;
twirl spin whirl like a dervish...make it about how YOU feel instead of what might entertain others; a moving meditation / merging magic&#xD;
12. BE present / BE the best YOU&#xD;
by remaining focused in the present moment --effortless-- without thoughts of outcome or acheivement, your own authenticity shines forth&#xD;
