I'm a little confused what you mean by the 'bent over horizontal' elbow pass... is there a video somewhere of someone doing this you could post?

I found this after watching the video lisa posted. I haven't tried it yet, but it seemed like a pretty good explanation.

Hi Marsha,

Are you able to pass the hoop behind your back vertically (also continually from right to left behind your back?) I find that being able to do this helps be able to do the horizontal elbow pass. I think that it helps because you can practices passing the hoop with out seeing it, it helps you feel the flow and timing of the hoop pass. Thats how I started playing with passing the hoop elbow to elbow. After feeling good with passing the hoop vertically behind my back I started playing with the hoop being horizontal. After getting the one pass horizontally I then worked on continually passing the hoop from right to left (horizontally). After feeling comfy with that, I started working on passing the hoop horizontally behind my back left, right, the rotating my upper body to be in a lay-back then passing the hoop from right, to left, then back to behind the back....I really hope that made a little sense!! :/

Happy Dancing,
Olivia

P.S. I really love elbow hooping, I've being trying to have my boyfriend make me a hooping shirt with a hooper, hooping on her elbow, and have text above or below her saying "I <3 elbow!".........maybe I'm a big dork, but...really, elbow hooping is my favorite! :D
