Forward Three-Beat Weave Tutorial

2009-11-06T23:05:14Z

I made this video for my friend Leslie who asked about it some time ago. Sorry it took so long girl. I make more videos in winter when there are not so many outdoor distractions! I hope this makes sense. Nothing compares to working with someone one-on-one but this is the next best thing. And hopefully it will help other people also. Weaves are one of the trickier things to describe. Hopefully this will make sense. Let me know either way and perhaps I can improve on it if it doesn't. Happy Hooping.

With love,
Caroleeena

Tuck Toss & Tuck Toss Turn Tutorial

2009-11-06T22:54:32Z

Ha! Got enough "T's" in that Title!?! I didn't post this before because I'd posted it in the Video Tutorial tribe but it occurs to me that many people in this tribe don't belong to that tribe so I thought I'd come back and post it here now. Please forgive me for the music being so loud. I was getting over the flu and my ears were all messed up and I could hardly hear.

Love and light and happy HEALTHY hooping,
Caroleeena

Helpful Practice Videos

2009-10-29T03:31:21Z

Studying other people's videos is an amazing learning tool. I do it a lot more in winter when I'm not so busy and guess what? Winter is careening toward us. Soooo I want to start a few threads that are like playlists on YouTube. In each of these threads, I'd like for us to share the videos that have helped or inspired us in various areas of hooping -- practice, performance, tutorials and artful dance. This first one is going to be a list of folk's practice videos that we've found useful in our own practice or videos that highlight things we are currently working on. As you share links you love, please make note of one or two things in the video that you found specifically inspiring so that others perusing the list can, at a glance, go, "Oh! I want to learn more of that." It doesn't have to be a practice video, per se. It could also be someone's hoopdancing in their living room video or even a tutorial if it highlights a move or moves that you really dig.

I'll start us off. I find all of Khan's practice videos very inspiring. I almost can't watch one without having to get up and try something he does. The one I'm loving right now is his latest a capella practice video and there's tons of stuff in it I like but I think my favorite thing is the Behind the Back Wheel Planes. I'd happened on to these moves by accident but never really realized how cool they looked til I saw Khan studying them in his a capella video.

I plan to add more to this thread and to create the others soon, probably later tonight, but I just got invited to meet some friends for a cold beer ... and I'm off. More soon! And I can't wait to learn what you're studying too.

Let's try to share our links like I have below so they can be perused readily. Thanks ya'll!!!

Hooping at 12,000 Feet!

2009-10-17T21:20:27Z

These two short videos are of my friend Leslie. Leslie decided to celebrate her anniversary of five years cancer free by doing something amazing. She climbed to one of the highest peaks in the world ... and hula hooped there. The peak is in Eiger, Switzerland and in these two shorts she is 12,000 feet high. That has to be some kind of record.

In the first one, she had to leap onto this rock formation. Even with two safety ropes, that scares the bejeebus out of me!!! At the end, when she did the lift, she said she suddenly just stopped and thought, "If I lose this hoop, it is gone forever!" and it would have been. Shudder... Check this out. It's beautiful and yet it gives me the heebie-jeebies too!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZBPRsmurKo

In this second one, you can hear the wind whipping around as she holds her ice ax and sports her climbing boots with crampons on them. Still, look at the big smile on her face. I love her. So brave and so beautiful. This woman is one of a kind and I am proud to count her among my friends.

Alley'Oop with Wonderbolt Circus Multiple (4) LED Hoop Act

2009-10-02T15:54:48Z

So I don't post video often, im shy about it, but here goes.

This is a vid of the act I did this summer with the Wonderbolt Circus. It is always an interesting challenge to put all of your tricks in the one show. As well I didnt get to work with my music till the day before the show opened, which was EXTRA challenging but I tried my best to go out there and have fun. The beginning is missing however, in which I do a lot of isolations with mini's. A friend has footage, so hopefully I can post the rest soon.

We will be taking the Wonderbolt Circus Show to perform for a week during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, but thats not till Feb so I have time to work on the act a bit. I think the 1 hoop part needs work...but how do I squish everything in there. Hooping has gotten crazy!!! I love it. Too much to even showcase. That says something about our growing art form does it not? :)

Let me know what you think.

Tori Amos, semi-sustained spinning, & grace

2009-10-01T15:08:31Z

Hi hoopers,

I've been blow away by all the great videos lately, especially the burning man videos...amazing. So, lately I've been enthralled with sustained spinning. The great masters of spin have inspired me, but, I am having a hard time delving into this sacred and beautiful part of our art due to an old (severe) knee injury and recent surgery (that is the 4th one, grrr). The act of spinning puts a lot of strain on the knees. I had to take breaks from the spinning in this video to combat dizziness and knee discomfort. (just showing my age I guess) Spinning FEELS GREAT and I hope to be able to take it further and become much more creative with my movements and spin for longer periods of time. ***Special thanks to Caroleena for the chest roll tutorial. I finally "got it" after your teaching about breathing and relaxing during the roll. (I threw the chest roll in during one of my breaks) I did some sort of tornado/vortex with my arms towards the end...does this move have a name?

Keep hooping and posting inspiring videos!
Kim Ray

Fire Hoop Practice in Leamington Spa UK

2009-09-26T20:15:45Z

I put this little video onto my Facebook page but it got taken down because of the Amy MacDonald soundtrack.

I did mean to replace it today with a creative commons piece of music, but I've been too busy. So here it is on Vimeo.

We have a regular once a month meeting in a building to the side of this area and then afterwards some of the girls bring their fire hoops for us to play with. This was August. The first time I'd tried it.

as some of you may know, I have been going thru a rough spot. but i've been hooping thru it, even when it felt futile.
AND THEN TODAY, i was so blessed to just have a practice that simply clicked. i was on such a hoop high, i could have gone on for hours. my hoop dance felt effortless, and i was overwhelmed with gratitude.
thanks to all, and here's two vids from today's blissful practice:

Kingston waterfront, off-body

2009-09-15T02:19:30Z

Woo!

This weekend was my first touring show! We went to Kingston, a really old settlement/former capital, now know for frat boys and prisons. The waterfront was sooooooo pretty, big fountain, lots of boats, beautiful lake with a wind farm on the other side!

I kicked my plateau in the face yesterday by hooping through the sunday sketch! Woo!

Here, I've got some throws and rolls, and lots of isolations and breaks with more focus on moving my body throughout (anti-grounding!) than keeping them stable

some videos I took on/around World Hoop Day in my *new* hoop space in my backyard in Gainesville, FL. It's finally beginning to get cool enough to hoop for longer than 20 minutes in the sunshine!!

This first video is pretty short, contains some sustained spinning and flow practice:

This next video I am working on playing with isolations and transitions between on and off body moves...

It's been a full year of hooping! From back yards to victorian houses, check the progress!!

2009-09-10T17:45:41Z

So... I have been doing a lot of messing around with this ridiculously small children's hoop that some old co-workers picked up for me at a Walmart. It's really small, I'm not sure of the diameter but it doesn't quite make it up to my hip, and I'm only 5'1" so, it's pretty small! I've been working mostly on my jump throughs from various angles and I've been trying to work on flow, like always.
This month (August) is the celebration of my one year hoopiversary so I'm going to post my very first hoop video shot in my backyard sometime in October of last year & my newest one getting down with Led Zeppelin's song I Got A Woman (Hey Hey What Can I Do) in my best friends beautiful old Victorian in Downtown Santa Rosa. I'm so glad that hooping has become a part of my life, I don't know where I would be right now if it weren't for hooping!

Here's my first video

A Hula Hoop is Round

2009-09-08T20:32:36Z

This is a modern group dance by the Pan-Asian dance troupe Mad Props from the University of Pennsylvania performing a modern dance with Asian influences called, "A Hula Hoop is Round". There are nine dancers and it's a unique performance. I'd love to know the back story, specifically why they chose hoops, if one of them is a hooper, if they made their hoops (which look like aluminum circus hoops to me). I love the music in this also.

Hooping in the rain -- meme to my friend

2009-09-03T14:11:11Z

I made this video about two weeks ago. I had just found out the day before a friend (who worked in my department @ work) had passed away...we're both Tool fans, so the music pick was kinda obvious to me, especially since the lyric "We are eternal, pain is an illusion" really spoke to me at the time. This was also filmed in a light drizzle, right after a big downpour, because he once said real hoopers would hoop in the rain when I was being wimpy about hooping in the rain during lunch break.

So I made this as my way of saying goodbye since I couldn't go to the funeral (it was in another state). A post in the Hooping Music tribe reminded me to share this video here....For once, I wasn't trying to be cool, which is a problem for me...I was just going with the moment.

Short Clip: The Flamingo Pass

2009-09-01T15:22:40Z

I discovered this gem, which I call "The Flamingo Pass," while playing with Bay Area Hoopers at Dolores Park yesterday. The way I do the move in this clip is not beautiful, but I hope to smooth it out soon! :) You can see at the end of the clip that I'm just surprised that I could do it!

Enjoy :)

Emily Hooping @ Camp Barefoot 3

2009-08-29T21:41:09Z

Camp Barefoot was a tiny little festival about 3 hours from my home in Virginia! It was so flippin cute only 2,000 people and it had a great line up! Someone got this footage of me hooping, I'm feeling like these videos weren't exactly the peaks of my hoop dance that weekend but still awesome footage no doubt! The first part is to the Iternals, then I am hooping to Silo-Effect whom you should all check out! They are a killer new band from Richmond Virginia, they are pumping out some really hot grooves let me tell you!

Fun with TheWis in the circle

2009-08-29T03:56:24Z

Hi everyone,

This is just a fun video I made close after the last. A friend mentioned hooping in a skirt and that gave me the idea to try a skirt. It covers up the fact that I can't move around yet, it flows very nicely as I hoop, and best of all it covers up my horrid knock-kneed legs! So you can thank Patricia for taking that aweful sight away * GRIN *

I was just going to practice with the skirt and also a move I call "ow steal", ?. The right hand is hooping overhead, the left steals it and puts it on my waist, the right steals it back and hoops overhead, etc. I'm sure it's a move that has a name already, but I have never seen it nor heard of it. I gueeass I'm not doing too bad since most of my new moves are ones that I just happen to think of, but they are real moves.
Anyway, Keith had a cute idea en how to start so we taped it. You can see my guy in the beginnning (well, you can see his actions) and in the end, which didn't work the way I meant it to! But those are Keith's parts and this is the extent of his hooping!

Just an aside, I was having the side effect from my pain patch of stiff and painful muscles and joints, and you can see it in my hand hooping. But it was still fun!

Enjoy and have a laugh on me!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SanDMgk8AKM

(Miss Caroleeena, you wanted to see Keith's hooping progress, well this is it! LOL)

Meeeya! hoops at Sundae

2009-08-23T17:57:06Z

i haven't posted a video in a whiiiile, but i just bought a shnazzy new camera (hopefully i won't lose this one at burning man) so maybe that'll change! here's a video of me hooping at sundae, which is an outdoor house music party which happens every sunday in my neighborhood. i've recently switched to a smaller hoop so i'm getting used to the change in momentum, especially when it comes to barrel rolls and shoulder swoops (as i call them!)

video by lex.

also, i can't wait to see some of you at burning man!
i'm definitely planning on stopping by the hoop heaven hoop jam on thursday. i'll be camping at PEX with its funky house and warm philly vibe. come on by for great hooping music every night by artists from philly, LA (camp chillax, formerly soulicious), and around the country! if you see me there hooping, come say hi and i'll get you a drink from our bar. you can find the DJ sets on the Philadelphia Experiment tribe to see who's playing when.

Caroleeena playing with Beat Punctuation to Juevos

2009-08-20T17:40:33Z

First let me give props to this musician. His name is Juevos, which means Eggs, and my friend Eric ran across him making music at a cafe in Guatamala. Eric is taping his music and putting it on YouTube. You can find another great song by him here: http://www.youtube.com/user/estonephoto#play/uploads/9/y4qsysM956I

I am told he has at least one cd out. Once Eric gets back to Guatamala I should be able to get more info on that and him. I really like his music -- music, lyrics and vocals, all of it. It's just a tasty 1940's style -- and as part of my bid to use my practice videos to introduce other hoopers to the music of unsigned or local artists, I dedicate this, my first video with this intention to Juevos. Don't you just love this song!?! Support this artist! I will share more info on him soon.

In this video I am practicing punctuating breaks and beats in the music with punctuation in my dance. I stayed completely off the body, which wasn't really my intention, but I think it works. I did a pretty good job of speeding up when the song speeds up, slowing down when it slows down and landing on the beat (with the exception of the very beginning when I was running from the stereo to the dance space!) I'll probably do another video to this song too. I want to do a fire hoop to it but I couldn't resist sharing this. I hope you like it. And Juevos, you rock!!!! I hope you get to see this one day!

(Also, check out the cicada applause at the end! Pretty cool that.)

Here goes:

Opposites and Improvements

2009-08-17T08:28:38Z

Hi Everybody! I am still around and still hooping! It has been hard with the side effects of this pain patch to hoop much and just too hot to go outside. So I have been working inside on my "opposites1'" like hooping in my opposite current (clockwise'), using my left hand for moves, etc. I was even starting to be able to waalk and dance around.
The other day I was able to get outside and was looking forward to letting loose again! But, to my disnay, I still can't walk on the ground outside. But I had a nice long hoop session in the humid furnace of the yard! I, my worst critic, was actually very impressed with myself and how well I can do lifts, drops and halos with my left hand! Thanks to Patricia's help, I have also been working on some new things; Shoulder hooping and one-arm paddling at the waist. Those especially need a lot of work, as does everything else. But I think I have improved a lot. I had more usual drops, getting caught in the hoop, and hitting myself with the hoop bloopers, and as usual I left them in. Hey, they make me laugh so why shouldn't you get to laugh too! It's also a good way for people to see my improvement for me and help me with WHY these things happen. Be sure ! catch the "blind person losing her hoop" part! I laugh about it just thinking about it!!! And it happens to me a lot!

Looking forward to your critiques and tips! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtDuHhS1ZJc#

Much hooper love and light,

Across the Chest Roll Tutorial by Caroleeena

2009-08-14T05:15:05Z

This is a tutorial of the across the chest roll. I've included a few interations, including side to side and front to back as well as the half chest roll. I make some mistakes and my rolls are not as smooth as I'd like but doing it and framing it in my mind and articulating it all at the same time is hard! Do as I say, not as I do. Your hoop should not catch air. If it does, you're not relaxed enough. Breathe. Or you're releasing too early. Hang on to the hoop til it touches your forearm, then gently raise your forearm to propel it across the chest.

In this video I am sporting the hat my friend AliCat gave me. Thank you Ali!!! I love it!

Hooping @ JUJU BEATS 2009 with DJ Martin Roth

2009-08-12T17:32:07Z

Hey hoopers! Here's a little footage of me hooping with DJ Martin Roth at JUJUBEATS festival this past weekend at the Beautiful Live Oak Springs campground resort. I had a blast, although I was on a super tiny platform (maybe 4x4) about 10ft in the air, so I was trying not to hoop myself off the platform the entire time. :-) Good training I suppose.
Enjoy!

It's been over a year since I've posted a video...Luckily, one of my new hooper friends has a camera and I finally get to see what I look like :) This is from the Riverside Arts Market in Jacksonville, FL. There was a 2 day hip hop festival called Summertime in the City this weekend and off to the left out of sight, there was a breakdancing competition going on. The music is from a compilation they were giving out and it's all local artists. I was stoked to finally have something cool going on in Jax...it's such an unprogressive city, but my hometown so I love it still. Just wanted to share with ya'll...

Twins Practice

2009-08-11T13:23:43Z

My friend Heather has been encouraging me to do a new practice video, and this is what I came up with.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fw10WKtzvI
I did this just after some research into poi style weaves and the three beat weave. I really enjoyed this song from Sharna Rose's weave video. It just made me want to get up and dance. I am finally getting a little bit of on body separation with my twin hoops, and I'm guessing that there is no real "trick" to hooping twins on the body, just going to need more practice. I just made the minis yesterday, and they are quite fun. The lightness throws me off a bit, but makes learning poi style moves a lot smoother.

Hello all, I haven't posted on here in quite some time, but I've been lurking around and seeing so many videos that it gets me really excited about the way hoop dance is spreading and the direction in which its going.

Here are a couple practice videos I've been playing with. Trying more off the body work, continuously decreasing my hoop size, directional changes, stalls, reverses, breaks, etc. The shorter one (2nd video) is me playing aorund with a bit of a robot challenge, for those that like to get robotronic inside their hoops :)

Hooping Improve Tribal Style (HITS) mini tutorials

Heya Hoopers!
I just posted some more uber short mini tutorials on some HITS moves; They are more like demos to show what moves look like, but I figured they're better than nothing in the meantime I've been soo busy with performances and teaching that I haven't had time to make any really detailed tutorials, so I hope these little teasers help a bit, until I get some better ones up.

Ann: Summer Practice Clips

Slowly regaining a bit of trust in tribe, now that we can go for longer and longer stretches without playing Connect 4 or having donut freakouts-- : > --I wanted to share a couple of practice clips that have been powerfully inspired by my innovative peers, particularly Rich (for the Isopops and off-body speed inspiration), Brecken (for her explorations of the space between planes and her mesmerizing tornado energy) and Michele/Spindarella (for her wild creativity and fearless happy play). These masters have brought so much delicious new energy into the hoop world, and I thank, and bow to, each one of them.

As always, I owe deepest thanks to my beloved Sweetheart, Baxter, who still teaches me something new every single week.

Hooping to 'Give me one reason'

2009-07-31T16:27:39Z

Just felt like posting a video for some feedback. I'm finally feeling more comfortable with moving/dancing in the hoop. I was always the girl that didn't even dance at weddings so feeling comfortable with dancing is a MAJOR breakthrough!! I have my Hoop Path experience to thank for that! Hoop Path was an AMAZING experience and I HIGHLY recommend everyone go to the retreat or a workshop if you have the chance!
Anyway, any feedback, good or bad is welcome. Thanks for watching Hoop Family!

Holy Cow! I had never even heard of this girl but I am blown away by her hooping. She definitely has a less is more style, which I love, not flashy but technically amazing. And she dances. She can hoop with up to five hoops, which is neat but doesn't really impress me usually ... it just looks like tricks when most people do it ... and yet she dances with these hoops. She dances from her heart and it's so beautiful and subtle and effortless, it takes my breath away. I also love her music choice here. How is it that I have never heard of this woman!?!
