What are you creating in the world?

I am creating a space for adults to take the time to play. A place where they can express themselves creatively & comfortably. As a result of playing with hoops, laughter is a huge byproduct that I love being a part of.

How did taking the Authentic Professionalism workshop with Jamie help?

It helped me guide me past the preconceived notions I had about what it meant to be a “professional”, when none of those things meshed well with my own path. This guidance eventually led me to constructing my own (comfortable & wonderful) ideals about how I present myself as a professional hoopdancer on a daily basis.

What did you learn about yourself?

That I am a professional with hoop in hand, ready to rock out. & just because my business involves having fun doesn’t make me any less professional than someone who wears a suit.

What would you like to celebrate?

(Wait a minute, let me put my party hat on!) Things are always so lovely in sets of three.

1. I would like to celebrate that it hasn’t always been like this (but that I am SO grateful it is now).
2. I want to celebrate all my students who express themselves & move their bodies in a way that makes them proud.
3. A huge celebration for being self-employed in something that I find fulfilling & life shifting.

From Jamie:

Every year I host the Starshyne Virtual Dance Party. On May 1st I invite the world to dance for 15 minutes. I just had to share this gorgeous video of how Allison took part!
