Look ma, no hands!

No one has thrown down the gauntlet, so I thought I would. The rules for this challenge are as follows: 2 minutes of hoop dance to the song of your choice with no contact below the wrist. This means stalls, breaks and reversals (if you do them) have to be done without the use of your hands. If you drop the hoop, you are allowed to pick it up (had to put that clause in for me, don't know how to do the kickstart yet). The objective of the exercise is to focus more on the dance and less on the tricks. As an example, I am posting a video of the lovely Caroleeena with a guest appearance by Icky. Have fun and happy hooping!

my cats run and hide when they see me w/ my hoop. I imagine them saying "no new tricks in the house!"

Oh, I love that video, & Caroleeena is the best armwork inspiration ever. Have you all seen her tribe posts on arms? If not hurry right on over there. She is an arm genius.

im a little confused... anything but ur hands right? this means u can use ur arms, and upper body, just no touching the hoop with ur hands right?

That's how I interpreted it.

Anything, except your hands. If you can hoop with your mouth, go for it. Feet, arms, shoulders, neck, all acceptable.

a way out of the hoop

Posted by Swizzy Ape 2 Comments

I'm stuck in a loop with the hula hoop. When I was a little girl I was abused in every which way. Often I was grounded to my bedroom, with two bathroom visits and a dinner release. In my bedroom held my boom box. Loud music would draw my angry step father towards my room. But I had to dance, so from a young age I would take a few preventable beatings so I could dance in my bedroom. Pretending I'm dancing on stage with Brain Setzer, I had trained myself to ingore reality while I dance. Even…

for the love of hoopers......

I haven't posted for a very long time, but I have something worth sharing.  In the last couple of years, I have advanced enough to start teaching and I absolutley love my classes.  All my students are wonderful its the most favorite part of my week. Through a very unfortunate series of events, every hoop I own, including my hoops for students, were taken and no longer in my possession. I was so upset ,not for myself, but my students would have nothing to take class with. There…
