Hoopdance to James McMurtry's "Just Us Kids"

okay, im working on my reversals.. having a hard time at the chest. any suggestions?

I use the breaking arm to kind of "cradle" the hoop and although it's kind of hard to see, I definitely twist to absorb the energy. My hoop is light, so I can do this quickly. With a larger hoop, make sure you twist and keep the plane of the hoop as smooth as possible, pushing the hoop back towards your midline and immediately engaging with the hoop to catch the rhythm in the new direction. Of course, you want to make sure you are really fluid in both currents on the shoulders.

I could see you doing that in Cirque, big fan here, saw many shows of theirs. Do love your video, like "Just Us Kids" too, in fact that's how I came across this very pleasant treat. Thank You!!

Very cool!! Loved it! I hope you're a Cirque fan!

I am!

This is my current favorite song. It is definitely my generation at age 48. we had our 30 - year HS reunion this weekend. Great times!

your style is so distinct, incredible!

That was very F_n cool!!

as I read the comments of the people before me,... I find myself in agreement,..from your "SPEED" to your "FLOW".......yes "WOW". I can't wait to get back out there to do some hooping in the barn. WONDERFUL HOOPING"

beth, your speed in this is just phenomenal! i love hearing you laugh at the end when the silks got in the way. :) your timing with the music was perfect. I can't wait (for june) to be able to see you hoop for more than just 4 minute snippets like this!
