Hey! I just recently started an interest in hooping.. And was wondering if you had any tips ? I'm completely new to all of it so anything would be nice :)
Hallo there! Sorry it took me so long to respond to your Q. By now you’ve probably had some time to scour the internet for hoopspiration and hopefully met some of your fellow hoopers on tumblr. Some hooping blogs I recommend are: HoopingDotOrg
TheSpinCycle
FYeahHooping
(not much of a roundup but hey… maybe if you’re a hoop blog and you want to reach out to anybuddy looking for more hoopbuddys, you can “like" this post :))
One of the best ways to grow as a hooper and not get burnt out are to make sure you connect with others who are as into hooping as you are. Pull a friend in and get them hooked, or look up local hoopers in your area on HoopingUSA, HoopCity.CA or Facebook. I found a spin jam in my town with a few hoopers, but even a long-distance hoop buddy is good for keeping you going during the rough times when you feel stuck.
If you need to see some moves from instructors who are easy to learn from, definitely check out youtube users SaFire, KaytiBunny, and Caroleena. Their how-to videos are my faves.
I also keep a tag page of helpful tips and tutorials here at http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/tagged/resourcesor my FAQ pagehttp://craftysquid.tumblr.com/HoopFAQ
Most of all have fun! Share what you learn! Share the process… and keep an open mind, the hoop will teach you what you need to know <3
