In the 1860s, when hoops were worn, waltzes and polkas
and schottisches were all danced, vigorously.
I, myself, while wearing my hoopskirts, have lead
other women in a full-turning waltz more than once. :)
So even a modern person, who does not wear hoops very
often, can waltz with little to no trouble in hoops.
Hoops are a bit like lampshades, though--if you move
one side down, the other is very likely to fly up.
