One legged hooping andddd where you bend over and spin it over your back. I have no idea what that is called

When I went to my first big hoop jam I was in absolute awe of Philo Hagen doing the vortex.  At that time I could barely keep it on my waist.  I couldn't believe that anyone could do that.  It is definitely an exciting move to watch when you don't understand how it works.

People always want to see how many hoops you can do at once too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was also in awe of the vortex until I learned it.

Kick start and then working the hoop all the way up your body without your hands always seems to get people!  And shoulder hooping!

There's another thread with some great suggestions here =)  I stand by what i said previously - isolations, one shoulder hooping, and flamingo (one legged hooping), but would add escalator

You're welcome!  There are a few tutorials out there for the escalator, but unfortunately my favorite one has been "removed by the user"   =(  Babz has a pretty good one here:

i would say a chest roll is one that always gets wows from people, and that move where you kind of "stir the pot" but jump into the hoop and bring it all the way up over your head (i know this must have a name but names arn't my forte) also mega easy stuff like passing the hoop under your legs (one at a time of course!) like can can style, it always amazes me that people find this so amazing. don't forget that the performer sometimes needs to let the audience know that they are doing something amazing, sometimes holding one move for a couple seconds longer or putting on a "ta da" face can let them know that what your doing is hard and deserves some oohs aahhs and some applause.
