Olivia Carey is passionate about aerial hoop dancing, for her it is a way of expressing her spirituality and connecting with God.
She says that the art form is addictive, describing how trying a move and failing at it only motivates her more to keep trying.
For Carey, being on the hoop is very peaceful, despite it being a dangerous form of dance, she loves being able to focus only on the hoop and let all of her other worries go.
