My main tip is enjoy the process, don't stress about what you can or cannot do the first day, just relax, laugh, have fun, keep trying, & prepare for a brand new addictive source of amazing bliss! :) On my first day I could barely get the hoop going. By day three I was addicted, & now a year & a half later, I can hardly remember my life without hooping!!

Oh, & be sure to buy or make a hoop to practice with at home. Just doing it in class won't be enough!

Poi will help loads with the minis! Many of the moves are nearly identical, once you get the handing changes. I don't spin poi myself but Caroleeena does & the moves really do translate, though they're a bit more complicated with hoops.
