Sarah: A dance routine with props, what's not to like?! Putting together the team routine was so much fun, and despite a few mess-ups during the performance, we fumbled our way through. We're far from masters of the hoops, but this has to be one of the most fun events we've done!
Ellie: I really, really hope that the video above shows how much we enjoyed this routine! We had an introduction to all apparatus on week 1 and week 2 was dedicated to routines. I was giggling the whole way through, I was having such a good time. Watching the video back, I can see that with a little more thought and finesse and loads more practice I really could have made all of those catches and moves work and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat - it was great!
