  • this is an excellent tutorial, i was just wondering does it matter what size hoop you have, mines is a 40inch dance hoop and some simple moves i struggle with, could the size be a problem? Thanks! Carly x

  • You can do it with any size hoop. Mine in this video is 43 I think. The roundness doesn't matter as much as the heaviness. Heavier hoops require more wrist strength. I recommend going lighter. I find a 100 psi hoop ideal.

  • Thanks this is a great tutorial. My rabbit likes to sit at my feet when I am hooping which is dangerous when I am doing it.

  • You totally rock!

    i'm gonna go try this now i just started hoopin about 3 months ago i haven't seen this trick yet, its awesome!

  • Caroleeena--this is the first of your tutorials I've watched, and I see now why you are everyone's favorite! This is my next endeavor. THANKS!

  • For some reason this trick is so hard for me! Your vid is extremely helpfull though so im sure i'll get it soon:) Thanks!

  • Soooo helpful!!!!

  • you rock my face off...your tutorials are a godsend

  • Try to slow the rotation down as much as possible. This will give you more control. And we control our speed by controlling our breathing. Breathe in deep, pause, breathe out slow, taking as long as it took you to breathe in, pause, repeat. Do this the whole time you're hand hooping and as you release the hoop. Notice any place you stop breathing and breathe into that place. Long and slow. This will help a lot. Many people rush and throw it and lose all control, mostly out of fear. Breathe.

  • Hmm i dont know , It goes up my arm sometimes. But i cant seem to get it to go straight lol , but thanks ill keep trying , Your very tallented:)
