Your a great teacher, very helpful! I was wondering what is the best material to wear while hooping? I am in the process of creating a hooping outfit and dont want it to be slippery.

[FireSandra]

Look for fabrics that are not slippery. Cottons, jean material, etc. Usually more natural fibers have better grip than synthetics.

Here's a question. I get this sometimes and other times I just don't. I feel like soemtimes I have it too low and I get it stuck in the crook of the back of my knees. That makes it harder to bump up too. Bending both knees seems to help a little bit but still if I wear pants it falls easier. I am getting gaffers tape for a hoop. Will the gaffers tape help at all? I feel like I just need to get the feel of this down and it will click.

[FireSandra]

Gaffer tape will help A LOT! ; ) And bare skin too.

SaFire, if you see this, you might have a video for it, but if I want to add fringe or something to my hoop for.. pizazz, since Im in a talent contest, and I usually hoop around my neck, should I go shorter fringe or longer fringe?

[FireSandra]

Hey hun,

Well you could always start with a long fringe and then shorten it if it's too long or you could vary the length and have it short then gradually increase in length to long and back again. That would be sweet. ; ) ~ SaFire ~

Thank you sooo much!!!!

Your videos are super helpful. I just started about two weeks ago, maybe three, and I've got down waist/hip/chest hooping, shimmying from waist to chest, the arm and shoulder duckouts so now I'm working on knees. I can keep it going around my knees when I give it a shove placed on my knees already, but I'm only successful at dropping it from my waist to my knees about 50% of the time. Any tips?

@FireSandra Aaahhhh, Banyan pants are sadly NOT made for knee hooping :( Can't knee hoop to save my life with them! Thanks for this tutorial, been trying to get it from my knees to waist for a while, hopefully this will be the epiphany I needed!
