Work it Carmen!

The piece in this Dancing with the Stars video that really caught my eye is the bit when one of the dancers uses a hula hoop. My sister Sheba introduced me to the hula hoop as a good form of exercise. Sheba insists on exercising because her boyfriend is the Prince of West Indian cooking so she needs to burn off the curried chicken and fried dumplings so that her belly's not hanging over her knickers!

I've mastered the art of keeping the hoop going but I now need to move on to step number 2 which is being able to dance with it.

Well Jesus, Mary & Joseph, I keep getting a stitch that'd make you cry hot tears of something. But I'm determined to hoop & dance.
