Lauren Red - Simple Aerial Hoop Video to 'After Dark' by Tito and Tarantula

[inthesky141]

This is beautiful! Do you ever do spinning hoop? and if so what are your tips for keeping it spinning!?

[RedPoleDancer]

@inthesky141 I do yes, I prefer spinning hoop to static. Tips would be head flicks, arm circles to give momentum and keeping central rather than stretching out to keep the spin going. Or just play about and see what moves keep you spinning and what kill it :) hope this helps!

i want your roooooooom!

[RedPoleDancer]

@ygreenplatypus haha it's lovely isn't it :) it's not my studio it's someone else's but she really went all out to make it homey and inviting. It's a great place to be creative!

[princesstara1234]

&&& 1 more question! is that an indoor hoop or is it hanging from the ceiling?

[RedPoleDancer]

@princesstara1234 hey sorry for the delay replying! It's hung over an exposed beam with tree surgeon straps but it's too low really!

[princesstara1234]

you. are. amazing!

I just ordered my lyra. would you recommend being really flexible? Like does that help be able to perform better?

[RedPoleDancer]

@princesstara1234 you don't have to be really flexible but a bit does help, but there are loads of things you can do that don't need flexibility to make them look good. Like tumbles for example although I don't do any in this video haha!

[rainbowfoxmagicgrrrl]

@Leatitia14 they're called leg warmers... kind of like socks but with the feet part cut off.

[rainbowfoxmagicgrrrl]

@Leatitia14 except longer

[Leatitia14]

@rainbowfoxmagicgrrrl thnx! ^^ Ifound them looking up stirrup legwarmers :)

[RedPoleDancer]

@Leatitia14 sorry for the delay, yes they are stirrup legwarmers from dancedirect . co . uk I get most of my dance stuff from there!

[guerasteph]

What size hoop are you using, if you dont mind me asking?

[RedPoleDancer]

@guerasteph I think this is an 85cm hoop, but the random handle thing at the top knocks about 5cm off the head height. It's best to go for a hoop without that as it makes some moves a lot harder, like single leg hangs in the middle of the hoop. I've also got a 95cm hoop and it's lovely for doing doubles in as there's more space...
