Tomi Riot
Location: Marseille, France (California/Nigeria)
Hey! Tomi Riot here, or just Tomi. First picked up a hoop in 2010. A friend of mine bought me my first hoop saying something along the lines of "Thought about buying you flowers, but thought you'd prefer a hula hoop." He was so right!
Hooped pretty inconsistently till 2014, when I discovered the hooping/ flow arts community in Austin, Texas. Fell in love with hoop dance all over again! I work as a Travel Nurse, and literally take my hoop everywhere with me. So grateful that I'm able to travel, because it means I can share my love of hoop dance with people of different races, genders, and cultural backgrounds. Truly believe that anyone can hoop!
My hoop is my favorite dance partner. So thankful we found each other!!
