I've only been hooping for a total of almost 4 months.. My new name is Hoopa Freak because I pick up on tricks super easy! I've gotten myself to the point of being stuck. I don't know what to learn next! My teacher says I'm at an intermediate-intermediate level (hope that's understandable). I'm having trouble with transitions from one trick to another, and don't know where to go to learn more. It REALLY helps if someone teaches me face to face.. I get a little confused with videos.. but I only know one hooper who's better than me and when we see each other there isn't much time for her to teach me.. Does anyone know some good videos I could watch, or If I could find my webcam I'd even do online lessons with someone if they'd be willing!! I have the potential to be an amazing hooper (more amazing then I already am) but I need more teachings! I'm pretty much working with myself and coming up with things...

Hey Lauren can you post a recent video? That will help people help you a lot. I watch my practice videos almost as much as I hoop now, and I can totally see where I get in my own way, why I mess something up, ect. 

good idea.. I'll get to making a recent video tomorrow.. AND I'll make sure I get in every trick I know

Maybe try working on your flow instead of learning trick after trick...put all the tricks you know how to do on a piece of paper and pick two at a time from a hat or s/t and then try to make up a transition between whatever tricks you get.

Good idea Nicole!

wow, that is a REALLY great idea!! 

Watching hoop dance videos helps you learn different transition methods, breaks are the best when stuck and there's a wide range of how to go about them. Search Olive Oul hoop dancing on YouTube, and "Hoop dancing/Hooping". A real good hooper/video on YouTube is "My last day of freedom". I learned almost all the tricks from watching it in slow motion and even on accident! Haha.
