Hello hoopers. I have been hooping for 4 weeks and am not sure if I'm just so new that hooping some tricks is hard (yes), but when I try to do leg hooping (badly) my hoop just seems slippery to me,…

" You're doing awesome for only 6 weeks!! I like that you incorporate a lot of reversals, I never did that in the beginning and I'm feeling like I have to make extra effort to work on it now. Awesome hoop too, is it a moodhoop? Which…"

Slow hooping, then fast. Wish I could edit videos, would have ended it after the slow hooping and cut out the distracting light on the right. I'm obviously s...

"Great Taylor, thanks! I actually cringed knowing you saw my video, as I was so proud of it at 4 weeks, but now for some reason I see it as so clunky and boring, but I thought it would be neat to do a slow flow to it once every month, for 12…"

"Yayyy! So glad to hear you got it! I used to never wear shorts or short skirts and now as long as it's warm out I do all the time, just so I can hoop easier. (I wear shorts under my skirts like a 10-year-old girl.)"
StudentJanet Long replied to the discussion 'Slow hoop dancing'
"Love the skirt, very flowy! I bought a white flowy skirt like that to hoop to also, but unfortunately didn't realize it was see through and not lined! You look beautiful!"

"You say you've been hooping for 4 weeks... that's not very long at all, you can't expect to learn everything all at once! It took me 2 years until I was comfortable with leg hooping! Be patient and enjoy the process!
If you feel that…"

"When you're working on leg hooping, make sure your legs are bare. It took me about two to four weeks of practice to get leg hooping down and even then it was only when my legs were bare. If you have to, even go as far as putting a bit of lotion…"

Ash Marie said… Thanks for the kind words Janet! I would love to see a video of your two week mark! I don't get nausea hooping, but you should try wearing those "seaband" bracelets like the ones for the airplane or a long boat trip!
I can imagine they would help.
Hope we can share our progress as time goes on!
