HoopPath Testimonials
“Baxter’s work is absolutely mindblowing. I’ve learned enough in his 3 workshops to practice for a year and more… he is a gifted teacher who shares the art of hoopdance in a unique way… part mythologist, part preacher, 100% authentic hoopdance mentor! I feel so blessed and honored to have been able to attend so many of his classes. He is honest, straightforward, inspired and encouraging. He takes his teaching practice seriously as an act of divine download and his storytelling and techniques provide a tangible methodology to cultivate a *real* personal practice.
Anyone devoted to the hoop shouldn’t miss out on this rare opportunity to study with a true master.”
– Christabel Zamor, founder of Hoopgirl, San Francisco CA
“It was wonderful to connect with Baxter and hear his philosophy. His terminology was expressed through a story of the Hoop Path and how it came to be. I was inspired and fascinated by his exercises that focused on developing balance and strength. Being blindfolded was a major part of the experience, which encouraged me to go deep into the feeling of it… It was very exciting to finally get paddling, reverses and breaks on a whole new level.
I was buzzing from the experience all night…it was the tip of an iceberg to a whole new level of exercises….a breakthrough. I am once again inspired to continue my hooping practice with a whole new surge of energy and focus.
Thank you Baxter…you’re wonderful.”

“Did I have my mind blown… No question about it, Bax is on my shortlist of people really pushing into new territory in a flow art. What I appreciated most was that each way of moving with the hoop was rooted in metaphor, and that lent a richness to the dance and the classes that made them a different kind of experience.”
– Khan Wong, founder of the FlowShow, San Francisco CA
“For any hoopers who are hesitating or are undecided, I encourage you to give this workshop a try. I have been hooping for less than a year, and I learned SO much from Baxter in a very short amount of time. He is a sincere and inspiring teacher, and he is an incredible hooper. Taking this class made me see hooping in a completely different way. It’s no longer just a fun activity full of tricks - hooping can be so much more.”
—Natasha Young, founder of Hoopsie Daisy, San Francisco CA
“That was really fun, great sharing of a wonderful story, and lots of things to challenge me in my personal practice. Thank you, Bax!”

“Baxter’s Hoop Path Workshop… where does one begin? First of all, if you ever have the chance to take a class with Baxter, then don’t skip a beat. He was so enjoyable, so patient and so kind- not to mention so incredibly passionate about hooping that it was infectious! I left the workshop inspired and excited, not to mention officially worn-out. I have never hooped so much, or been pushed so much in my hoop- what a thrill!”
