Samantha Stripe replied to the discussion 'I have no Rhythm. Can I ever have a good Flow?'"Hoop with your heart. :)

MissCephalopod replied to the discussion 'I have no Rhythm. Can I ever have a good Flow?'"I have really good rhythm naturally but my favourite dancer once said this in a workshop to us: get yourself a metronome (or use this one) and just have it running at home in the background, for hours.

P1astique replied to the discussion 'I have no Rhythm. Can I ever have a good Flow?'"Rhythm can be learned! :) When I started latin dancing several years ago, my partner had no rhythm what so ever and it was quite annoying because he never knew when to start. But after a year or so he actually got it and can hear and move to it now…"

Kelly Kerner replied to the discussion 'I have no Rhythm. Can I ever have a good Flow?'"I have never been a dancer by any means, and rhythm has always been a far off dream. But, since I have begun my flow journey, first through poi and now through hooping, I have made serious progress. I can, in fact, dance. Not very well, but it gets…"

Darcy Vasudev replied to the discussion 'I have no Rhythm. Can I ever have a good Flow?'"I just loved your quote "
somewhere in between ballet and crumping". I laughed out loud at this! I am a shy dancer too, and the hoop has given me a "partner" (I can always blame it on the hoop). I'm so proud of you for…"
LightningLeslie replied to the discussion 'Hooping at Bars and Clubs, how do you keep the guys from hitting on you?'"Whenever I would take my hoop with me around campus on a weekend night I would always get men coming up to me saying inappropriate things, telling me to shake it etc. To be honest it made me feel as unsafe as any street harassment and I…"
