Learn do do hoop isolations.
An isolation is a point in space that does not move, whether that is an actual object or an imaginary line.
Grab your hula hoop and put your hands on either side of it, imagine that there is a hub in the middle and that you are going to be moving your hoop around that fixed hub, much like the steering wheel of a car.
Hoop Tricks; Playing with open space.
Once you can hoop comfortably and can keep the hoop going, now it is time to play with all that open space in the hoop. Take your hands and look for gabs between the hoop and your body, when you see one, stick your hand in it and pull it back out before the hoop runs into your arm. This is using the “open space” in the hoop and between your body.
You can also do this while turning to slow down the motion and give you a chance to sweep your arm for longer periods of time.
This is a real cool hoop trick posted by Sharna Rose. Grab two hoops, get one going on your knee, kick a leg out and step through the other hoop while the one knee continues to hoop. Now stick that leg back on the hoop and kick the other one out and take the second hoop off your body again……WOW!
Hoop Tricks; How to hoop on one shoulder, or how to duck out and do a shoulder roll.
Your going to need to shrug your shoulder and dip the opposite shoulder down so that the shoulder you are going to roll the hoop on is “pointed” to the sky.
Practice first having your arm in the air and ducking your head out. After you are comfortable with that, drop your head out, but keep your arm down. The hoop should roll around your shoulder!
