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.
