A Journey in Bright Circles - A Teen with an Unusual Hobby

Meet Anaisha. In a universe of ordinary teens, Anaisha chooses the hoop. Wild, wobbly, wonderful - this is her story.

"I started by watching YouTube videos of little kids hula hooping and slowly teaching myself how to do it. I was the same age as those kids, and I didn’t just want to be as good as them - I wanted to be better. I followed a regime of practicing every single night, no matter how many people were watching."

Now, for some Behind-the-Scenes action!
