   I’ve loved hooping since I was little. I’m so glad I found our vids ’cause they’re great!

   Try this one by dropping your body lower each time the hoop comes around. It isn’t really the same as bringing it up, but will give you a stepping stone to work with.

   *humph* I still can’t do it! I’d love to get it past the chest, hands pressed together pointed straight in the air and get it up to the hand to do hand-hooping as well. First step: getting it up to the damn chest.

   Yaaaaaahhh!! Congrads!

   Absolutely I’ll see you there. This year I’m gonna try to get a hoop workshop in the booklet so look out for it and I’ll have a video up sooner for when/where it will be.

   Cheers!

   Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just got this one for the first time. I also hooped at the chest a couple times..granted it was quite brief but I know I’ll improve!

   Hope to meet & hoop with you at Burning Man next year if you go!

    I just wanted to make a pointer that might help somebody else out here. At first I would do the wiggle and sometimes it’d work and sometimes not. One thing I noticed that worked all the time was when the hoop was touching my stomache in front, I’d start the big waist motion from the back. That kicked it up to the chest area very quickly every time and from there just arch your back and chest to keep it up.

    Yeah Baby!!! I’ve been “workin’ the wiggle” but forgot about the big hip swoops. Thanks for helping me get it all together. (my Smaller chest size comes in handy

    with your explanation I finally manages to get it up to my neck! thank you so much!! All your tutorials are really helpfull.

    

21. ThatsPrettyFunny  |  March 30th, 2009 at 2:24 am #

    Lol ‘larger chest size’

    

22. FireSandra  |  March 30th, 2009 at 2:24 am #

    I’m glad you asked! Sorry that I didn’t mention it.

    As the hoop comes up your stomach and is just under your breasts, give an extra and more forceful popping motion that is angled upwards to help the hoop “jump” over yourself.

    I hope this helps out.
