Hoop Dance Tutorial: Vertical Chest Hooping

This is an advanced move. The prerequisite is "Chest Hooping" which you can learn from SaFire (shout out to SaFire who taught me everything!). This is also an introductory video to Vertical Roll Overs.

Thanks for the tutorial!  I start off through the vertical duck in but after a few revolutions of vertical hooping, the hoop starts going horizonal. Been trying for a while and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas would be very appreciated.

@wrongchoice1 Well if its going horizontal that probably means that you are standing back up straight. Try keeping your body as tipped forward as possible. I sometimes visualize myself laying/rolling across the surface of a table while doing this, it tends to help.

When I try to hoop at the chest, I can do it if my arms are out of the hoop, but not inside as you have demonstrated. If my arms are inside it moves up to my neck. am I doing something wrong??

[seer5]

@NnyxBee Yes, without seeing it my guess would be that you are shrugging your shoulders upwards. That is what you want to do when chest holding with your body upright but once you tip forward you want to go forward and back not up and down. Does that make sense?

Wonky....the hoop wiggles when it is in front of me. It goes up and down while it rotates while it is making its way around. It shimmies. It is really hard to explain.

@eternalvoyageur Hmmmm I never thought about that. I will try it out in my hoop session tomorrow. I might even be bending to low. But I have noticed my hoop is too large. Thanks for the help. :)
