My Testimonials

March 30, 2007
I gotta tell ya. Natasha is probably one of my very favorite hoopers to watch. She is so graceful and sensual and at the same time silly and fun. She is an inspiration to watch and her instuctional videos are the shiz-nizzle. Mad props for this beautiful hooper!

Hey.... I think I forgot to thank someone for all the TONS of help she gave me over the Carmine weekend. I feel terrible about it!!

Natasha was on it right away when I invited Carmine to OH. She immediately offered lodging and transportation for him. She agreed to tour and hoop at all three shows. She hosted the Saturday workshop and rehearsal in her home. To be honest, I do not know how I would have done this without her help! So this is my very big THANK YOU to Natasha of Pyrokinetika. She is a real team player, and not a whiner at all. (I think I would have whined had someone done this to me! <hehe>)

Anyways... Snakes Rising LUVS Natasha. We are forever indebted and at her service. (Besides the fact that we just plain love her bellydance, hooping and fire arts!!)

Natasha, I'm happy I met you and honored to be one of your students. You've been a motivational teacher, proven good at multi-tasking and encouragement. I'm looking forward to working with you in the future!

I don't know Natasha very well...just met her here, but I have a good feeling about her. She seems like a genuinely good person, and I hope to get to know her.

Ah, sweet Sayyida. My Erica. My Beauty. You have an energy about you that just... is. There is no way to describe it. I often leave you feeling inspired to learn more (even if Shells and I do tease you about being a golden child!). I consider myself lucky to have met you and to have you in my life!

Much love!

about me
Wow time for yet another re-write, huh? It's crazy how fast this section goes out of date.

I still live in Centerville, OH with my husband, two dogs and a cat.

I went to Wright State University. I am graduating next month (November) with a BA in History, but since I actually want to get a job with my degree, I am staying for a BS in Engineering Physics, hopefully followed by a Masters in Renewable Energy.

I work as a personal assistant for disable students at WSU. Best job ever.

I like to read.

I am obsessive about whatever hobby I have at the time.

I watch anime. Favorite movies: anything by Miyazaki, Grave of the Fireflies, Samurai X/ Rurouni Kenshin. Favorite series: Death Note, Claymore, Naruto, Blood+, Elfen Lied, Serial Experiments Lain

I like to do random dancing and sideshowy type stuff....Obviously.

I love the Song of Ice and Fire novels. They are the best fantasy written EVER. Period. I love the fact that there are no "good guys" and "bad guys," and that your favorite character may get killed or maimed. I hate George RR Martin for taking so freaking long to finish the fifth book that was supposed to be almost done already by the time he released the fourth, because they were originally going to be one book. Read about the series here. Seriously, do it. Then read the books. You won't regret it. Oh, but bring a box of tissues. And give it a hundred pages or two. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song...re_and_ice and here www.amazon.com/Game-Thron...008-7920448

I have hooping tutorials on YouTube here.: www.youtube.com/user/natasha31683 . I also have an un-updated website listed below.

I am a non-smoking, non-drinking, vegetarian, and I like puppies.

Not enough? Write me, and I will tell ya anything you wanna know about me.

My Blog

I just realized that there are absolutely NO fire vids of me on my YouTube account, so I figured I would post one just to prove that, yes, I do fire. But since the fumes/chemicals give me headaches, nowadays I generally only do it for the $$$. Here is a really old (2005) vid of me going through my repertoire of contact fire tricks (of course I have more tricks NOW, but you can't see em! nyah nyah! lol). For more of my old fire vids, go to: http://... read more

Blindfolded Sustained Stalling; www.youtube.com/watch .

This is the type of flow/meditative hooping that we will be working on at the upcoming Kiras Oasis classes.

For those of you who haven't heard, I am teaching a new class session at Kira's Oasis in Centerville, OH (near the Dayton Mall.) . I am bringing on board two new instructors; Shaun and Jurusik, who will be in charge of the poi portion of this class. The hooping class will be taught by myself, but I have developed a whole new teaching methodology for this session which focuses on flow and meditative hooping.

Details:

Date: April 20-June 8
Time: Sundays 7:45-8:45 pm
Where: Kira's Oasis ... read more

Well, its been quite a while since I posted about what anime I am watching. I am still watching Naruto:Shippuuden (and am actually reading the fansubbed manga too), but am no longer watching Bleach. I will probably download them all and catch up at some future date, but last I watched they were all running around Hueco Mundo fighting random baddies and it was rather dull.

I love Clannad. It is so sweet and cute. It is probably my new favorite. It is about a boy and his friends in high scho... read more

Since I never took any footage of my earliest stages of hooping, I figured I would try a vid as a baby hat manipulator. The hat was an Xmas gift, and I have been practicing for about half an hour a day, for about a week or two now. So the progress is a little slower than the hooping, cuz I was hooping a couple hours a day when I started. PS- the cut is from when the hubby walked in and started watching, and I am still bad enough at this that I can't do anything with someone watching cuz I get... read more
