It's a community where you show up as you are. You don't have to look a certain way. Be a certain somebody. You don't have to like festivals or EDM. You don't have to be super-advanced, if you are going into it with good intentions and a desire to learn, the community will love you.

I was instantly hooked. Kansas City was Kansas City that I needed during that time in my life, then over time it just followed me everywhere I went. I was going to different cities, and I was bringing my hoops. My hoops were getting smaller. I was getting better.
