Do you ever have those days when you just feel like things are getting away from you? Days when time seems some how much faster? Times when it just feels like you have so much to do and it is truly never going to get done?
Yep, me too! Today is one of those days. You know what the beauty of that rushed, exhilerating feeling is? Knowing that we will never, ever get it all done.
When I go through moments like today’s feeling I have such gratitude pulsing through me when I stop and feel, really feel, how full and exciting life is. I feel true peace with where I am right now even as I look at the 15 or so tabs I have opened on firefox, each containing a job/adventure I need to complete. I am happy in the knowing that each of those ‘tabs’ offer a journey, big journeys. As I gaze up at them I see words like dance, spin, welcome, ecstatic, add, links. So many journeys to be grateful for.
Yuta the poi master turns into a Hoop Goddess @ CIRCLE
Living such a bliss filled life means connecting with some of the world’s most creative and positive people. The CIRCLE Dance! Move! Play! Gatherings have been a wonderful experiment in attraction. It has been interesting to watch the connections being made and the beings who find themselves attending. I have made some lovely friends and am excited to continue CIRCLE in an outdoor setting for the month of June so we can play with connection to Mother Earth.
A quick explosion of gratitude before I head off to whip up a yummy salad for Masao and I.
- I am grateful that I have beautiful women in my life who offer their guidance and help, I feel intense gratitude when I see how much they support and share with me. I love being able to share life with them and support them in many ways.
- I love our gorgeous apartment. I feel so appreciative that we have such an open and light filled space in Tokyo that easily houses all of our hoops, toys, comforts, office and Tokyo Made stock.
- I feel so lucky to be part of a rapidly evolving community in Tokyo. It is exhilerating to watch as body consciousness grows within the group.
- I am so excited and extend intense gratitude to the huge adventures in the near future. I am so lucky to be a part of global gatherings like Spin Matsuri.
- I am excited for the workshops coming up in June. I am so blessed to be collaborating with such talented teachers to share movement with the Tokyo community. I am excited to share new hoop dance moves with the hoop lovers and introduce them to new forms of spatial awareness via other movement forms.
- I am excited and grateful for creative and lucrative performance opportunities that I have recently been offered. I look forward to working on these projects with other hoop dancers in Tokyo. I feel a rush of abundance when I think about the offers I have been made, the groups I will be working with, the venues in which we will perform and the sponsors of these events. WoW!
Thank you!
Hoop love,

ABOUT DEANNE
Tokyo-based hooper Deanne fell in love with the art of Hoop Dance many moons ago and has not spent a day without her hoops since.
Early in 2008 she took her hoops on a magical journey down under to meet with mentor and hoop idol Bunny Hoop Star. Together in Sydney they shared the Hoop Love, Bunny imparted her wealth of circus hoop and hoop dance knowledge culminating the teacher training with a divine LED and Fire Hoop jam on the shores of Bondi Beach. Deanne soaked up all the hoop juju and returned to Tokyo to share the love and passion for hoop dance with the movers and groovers of the illuminated city.
Now a qualified Hoop Dance instructor Deanne can be seen lighting up dance floors in Tokyo clubs with her LED hoop light shows. When she is not burning up the dance floor she can be spotted sharing the tricks of the hoop trade in parks and dance studios across Tokyo, teaching young hoopers in after school clubs and helping new hoopers explore their limitless bodies and get their groove on.
Deanne recently returned from California where she spent two weeks hooping, connecting, dancing and sharing with other hoopers from around the world at Hoop Camp and Harbin Hoop Jam. Filled with new hoop passion and inspiration Deanne continues to connect the Tokyo hoop scene with the global hoop community.
