00:05The majorettes are a troop of hula hoopers but they also roller skate, they do a little bit of jump
00:10rope.
00:11We train in London every week and we perform at schools, at festivals, at workshops.
00:20We teach and we inspire people around the world.
00:31Anybody can hoop, anybody, any ability, anyone, any size, any age, everyone can hula hoop.
00:39We get to perform at so many amazing events and every gig is so different. I like that constant excitement.
00:48The thing that sucks about being a majorett is carrying your hula hoops.
00:52At rush hour when it's raining.
00:54From buses, I've been refused taxis, trying to rope some hula hoops to the top of my car.
01:00The only injury I have is from carrying hoops. They're so heavy, it's so annoying.
01:08The girls will really help each other out and it's so supportive as a group which I think is so
01:13important.
01:13I was very in my shell before I started and now here I am hooping in my pants in front
01:18of people.
01:20Everyone has something really unique inside them. Performing helps you highlight and find yourself.
01:26They made me feel a lot more confident about myself, about performing on stage and about loving myself.
01:36The majorettes are like a bag of licorice all sorts. We have a little bit of everything.
01:42Dunya, she can hoop with barbed wire and she is our gothic hooper. It's terrifying.
01:49Marawa, that's me. I always use South American music and I love Calypso and Mambo tracks.
01:56Lizzie, she is our baby spice and she's also an amazing pole dancer and super cute.
02:01Obie, disco queen and number one chief majorette. Fabulous.
02:07Sonia, our Bollywood biker babe. She is a dreamboat.
02:12Rachel, part time voguer and part time dancehall queen.
02:17Rosa, an excellent hooper and also our French translator. Very useful for shows in Paris.
02:26Marawa, starting the majorettes really has changed my life.
02:32I'd describe Marawa as my hula guru. She's a friend, a mother and she's a role model.
02:38She has given us the most incredible opportunities that we would never in a million years dream to do.
02:45I have her voice in my head, which keeps me going further and I want to make her proud.
02:52What all the girls have got in common, I think, is just a really accepting attitude towards everyone that we
02:57come in contact with.
02:58A group of girls that I can talk to, I can party with, I can perform with and do work
03:04with has just been absolutely amazing.
03:07We are like a girl gang. It's like having 25 sisters.
03:16I do love it. I absolutely love it.
03:19I do love it. I absolutely love it.
03:23I do love it.
03:24I'm a mother, a chicken horse.
03:24I'm going downstairs.
03:24I'm going downstairs with you and you're waiting on me.
03:25My view is home from the
03:2628th to 24 years.
03:26You
