“I’m visiting from Belgium to go to a hooping workshop in Santa Cruz this weekend.”

“Hula-hooping?”

“Yeah.”

“You came all the way here for a hula-hooping workshop?”

“Yeah, I love hooping! I want to teach people how to hoop back home. In Belgium people are very stuck in their routines, so I want to bring some new energy in and what better place to get inspired than California.”
