I never got that far with poi style hooping. I can do a few of the moves - 2/3 beat weave, corkscrew, windmill, TTN to name most of them but I've never been able to link them together. For me, bringing the dance aspect into hooping is all about…

You're on the ball Shelley, I was hoping I could sit in the background unnoticed but it seems I've been found out! Actually it's great that you've created this group, on a subject that is close to my heart, so I may find myself…

Hooping on the Beach at Aberdyfi (Wales)

I caught this at the end of a lovely hooping session while I was on holiday in Wales after the UK Hoop Gathering. Unfortunately there was a lot of wind noise...

My first experience of outdoor hooping!

Posted on February 23, 2009 at 4:56pm 3 Comments

Saturday was a beautiful spring-like day so I took advantage by hooping out in the garden, christening my hoop with its first grassy stains! It felt quite different moving on a lumpy lawn from a wooden floor. It's still early enough in the year for winter to reassert its influence so I was lucky to experience this early taster of outdoor hooping.



As well as being new to hooping I'm also new to video capture/editing/uploading so it was also a good chance to test out that process too.…

Thanks for the lovely comment on my vid. It IS always nice to be able to see the hooper rather than an LED video in the complete dark.. :)

Glad you enjoyed Southern Lights, it's such a lovely chilled out festival! We felt on a bit of a downer too, wish it could have gone on for much longer. Hope you have an amazing time at hoop gathering. I think Sharna Rose and Beth Lavender are holding workshops, so it should be an amazing experience :)

Hey Paul it was great to meet you guys at Southern Lights. Hope you had fun and picked up some cool new hoop stuff. So jealous you're off to the hoop gathering in a couple of weeks! :)

Wicked, we'll be able to speak more in detail then!

It's good that you're working with such small hoops already - it took me a little while to downsize, yet I'd always been keen to do so.

I find there's usually a stage where you get some real little blighters of hooping injuries!

My worst was when I learnt to kick-start .
I had a bruise half the size of my hand on the back of my leg - it was purple, pink , yellow and green. I limped for a bit with that one. Walking up stairs wasn't so great the day after that injury!

But they do just happen :(
Your boday will adjust!

See you soon!

xxxxx :)

Yea, it's the third of may - I think that is bank holiday time...
Great, I'm going to have fun getting into london!

Try to take some videos every month, then you can track your progress that way.

I hadn't done many videos for a while before the one I put on here.
Should hopefully have more soon!

Yep - let me know if you're stuck with anything!

Ooh! last night I managed to multi hoop for the first time!
I got the hang of doing lasso with one hoop & kick start with the other.

How's yours going?

Hopefully see you soon.

xxxxx :)

Aww, thanks.
Upper body is my favourite, lol.
It's funny, as I was watching my old hooping videos earlier, and I've really come a long way, lol.

Bruises always happen :(
Try some of that stretchy bandage stuff - that's what I used when I started leg hooping and doing breaks on the arms.

Unfortunately, I can't make the hoop dates you told me about :(
But I'll definately be at next hoop, (which isn't too far away, lol).

How are you getting on with your hooping?
Is there anything you're really stuck with at the moment?

Hope everything's jolly with you!

xxxxx :)

Wicked!
I'll check them out - didn't know about those dates!

See you soon!

xxxxx :)
