Four Point Method

[mydlands]

Fantastic teaching. I am in awe of your figure 8 in the hips. And yes, like others, I thought your cat's cameo was very cute. I am just ready to try chest hooping, so I'll be trying to apply your instruction.

[xsmellytacox1]

your cat is SO CUTE!!! and i like the tutorial too, thanks

[1lisarussell]

Oh my goodness, you made this look SO EASY. Now, I'm off to go practice for hours and hours until it actually feels easy, thanks so much for sharing :)

[stephaniechillemi]

Does it matter what size the hoop is? Your hoop looks much larger than mine. Oh, and what about weight of the hoop? I can do everything besides the shoulder hooping... I can only do it three times in a row :(

[HypnoticIm]

You ROCK!!!! Thank you so much I have been trying to figure out chest hooping for a while now and I can actually keep i up for a few turns now.

hAPPY hOOPING!

[daisyfuck]

this is an awesome tutorial, you explained it so well. but your cat's entrance made me crack up audibly :P how she just plopped herself right on camera, and then hopped off screen

[shimarella]

This was what really cracked the case for me. You rock!

[CatUnderwater]

cute cat! hopefully now after watching this, ill be able to get it down faster. 4 point method is new for me. thanks so much for your help natasha =)

[Thenettis]

Oh my.....Im actually seeing A LOT more progress after watching this, Im pretty sure I can nail this move with alittle more practice.

The shoulder thingy you explained really helped me see the light :p Thanks!!

[shivvv33]

you are exactly what i needed to see!!! THANK YOOOO!!

[chefsing]

we love the betty hoop

[sensesublimity]

awesome video on shoulder hooping!

[ginnyhbaby]

as soon as I can I'm going to buy tubing to make myself (and maybeone for friend), I bought my daughter one, a childs one, and can't do it! But she's getting it. Maybe it is something we can do together.

[mefusmelys20]

oooooh i'm gonna try this right now! when i shoulder hoop i get BIG bruises on my left arm and i han feel the hoop really hitting it, i don't think i'm doing the push forward on that shoulder. this was great thank you!! =D

[ribanafish]

Thank you again, Natasha! You are awesome. It is a wonderful explanation, and it worked. :)

[neonemu]

Oh my goodness! I think I get it now! Your explanation of one shoulder pushing forward while the other pushes back is what I was missing from my mental idea of how to do shoulder hooping. Im sure I will struggle a bit more with this but FINALLY I think I get it =) Thank you thank you! ^_^

[cAtInABlenDer]

this is probably the most helpful tutorial I've seen on shoulder hooping. thank you very much... I've watched Caroleeena and Safire's explanations but you really explained the movement well with the backwards/fowards shoulder movement tip... i think that is definately the key to getting this move. one thing you left out though is to tell people that they need a larger hoop when first attempting this move,other than that ... perfect tutorial

[thelipstickfemme]

Thanks so much for the details explanation. I have given up with this move and finally got it. Thanks for the dance movements with the isolated shoulders. It reminds me of Afro Haitian dance isolation's.  Cool stuff.

[95000]

You explained this beautifully! This is one move I was having huge issues with and I think I finally understand it. Can't wait to try it again. Thank you!!

[aideenj]

Wow good job! I've been stuck at this for weeks, had no idea what I was doing, but I think I've finally got it! I'm off to practise!

[thelipstickfemme]

Wow, I was really hurting myself attempting to do with without instruction so I gave up. Your instructions are exceptional. I'll try this tomorrow when I practice. Thanks so much.

[DauphinPourpre]

Much Much Thanx!!! I finally got shoulder hooping b/c of you!!!

[Fourleggedfreak]

damn, girl. you are good! i'll have to practice that one. I'm very new to hooping! thanks!

[DanceInACircle]

hey natasha, I am having trouble hooping at the knees. You seem to really give in-depth pointers, do you think you can help me?

[ribanafish]

thank you very much for the video. A very good explanation, truly. Will try it out tomorrow.

[lamoresca]

You articulate like a robot - very clear and helpful, thank you! Please keep this video up for a long time...I'm a beginner, and I need time to work my way up to this point ;)

Also, thank you for not being an anorexic skinny-mini...you have gorgeous curves.  Some of us newbies are intimidated by the wiry slimness of the major instructors, as good as they are.

[melantha71]

OMG, I have been trying to learn to shoulder hoop for 2 years or so. I FINALLY DID IT! You seriously rock. :-D

[ogrilliotn]

this helps alot

[sparklgirl]

Thanks for breaking this down and explaining it so well! i've been trying to get this move down and you were a great teacher!

[hoopchik08]

Great hooping! How did you learn? How long did it take you to learn? What size hoop do you use? Dimensions. I have a 3/4 inch width and 40" diameter. I can't seem to do this trick - it keeps falling down. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

[BoBeena]

Woo-Hoo! I got it!  Most excellent breakdown. Thanks Natasha. Love the Kitty... stroll in...aaaannnd...DROP!

[mtmartian2008]

It is so so awesome that you put up these tutorial vids. I had this tech in only minutes. When you have time I would really like to see angle chest hooping with weaving arms in and out. You are the greatest!

[ruiner116]

How about getting it up without arms? I've been trying that with no luck :(

[maiClamor]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!! :))

[sugarheart]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Im gonna try this tomorrow :D

[jammiez]

i love you for posting this! thank you!!!

[acloui]

Thank you, this makes it so much easier. I've been trying to learn this one for awhile, and first off, just watching it, and not hooping, it makes so much more sense than what I was trying before.

thankyou so much!

[elanadavis]

Your instructions are the best I have seen yet! This one was so conscise. Have you considered a leg tutorial? I just can't seem to do any hoop work below my upper thighs...help!

[tjh07]

Thank you. : )

[TheBadPlace]

you're a natural teacher! this was very helpful, thank-you.

[Groovinmegzz]

this is great!! thanks for explaining this. I could never find the best way too and now I"ll just show them your video!

[safadancer]

yay! natasha, you rock! as a bellydancer just now taking up hooping, this video is so helpful, especially with the explanation in bdance terminology. :) and i looove your kitty...mine does the same thing (and by same thing i mean wander into the frame of video/photo shoots and collapse)

[oscarjjr]

Great instruction. Just got my first hoop at wannee. 50 year old guy but having a blast with it. What great excercise and flexibility training.  Thanks for posting the video!

[judynoel]

You are an awesome teacher, simply a natural at this! Good for you! Please do an isolation instructional video next! Thanks again!

[smallsushicat]

omg thank you!!!! this has been so difficult to get, and you broke down really simply.

[Shadjua]

You are a great instructor!

[littlegatorgl]

As a beginner, I really really appreciate when more experienced hoopers take the time to spread the love :) Thanks!

[rebeccanewburn]

Excellent instructional video. Thanks.

[wolfriverenterprises]

excellent video and instruction!!!! what a valuable contribution to the hoop community. natasha, i have added this video to my squidoo dot com/hoola-hoop-videos/ and will add any video you make in this vein.

[XtaG]

Awesome progressions and explanations, babe!

[hiker817]

Awe...kitty. :-)

[johnlvs2run]

Great video! Thank you. : )
