Sonya - Intermediate Hoop (She/Her)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN doing HOOP?
6 Years
IS THIS YOUR FIRST PERFORMANCE?
No.
Is this your first competition?
No.
WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS PERFORMANCE?
I love the song Soup because it’s about love, growing up, and making mistakes. No one is perfect, but there is a certain vulnerability in admitting there’s things you want to and are working to change about yourself. Soup is about working on yourself to show up for others in your life, but realizing you’re not quite there but wanting to be better.
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THIS COMPETITION?
I had an injury for much of this year, so to be honest haven’t done a lot of preparation, but I’m happy if I’m just able to perform and see others perform!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT PERFORMING HOOP?
The fun in improving!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SKILL/MOVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR YOUR UPCOMING PERFORMANCE?
Splitty move from a sort of shoulder stand.
WHAT GOALS ARE YOU AIMING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR?
Get better at transitions and continue to work on rolls and dynamic moves.
