This is a tutorial on basic handhooping that I made for Nora, a new student in my hoopdance class who missed the first few weeks of this semester. It's late and I'm tired. I hope it makes sense.

Re: Basic Hand Hooping
05/02I LOVE your tutorials, I really do. And while I'm at it I want you to know that I also Loooooooooove your style of hooping. I have noticed all kinds of different styles, and a lot that I admire, but just the beauty you incorporate in your hooping is so uniquely YOU. It's so confident and...friendly. That sounds strange, huh? Friendly? It just looks so approachable, like anyone could just walk up and strike a conversation with you about happy things..haha..you know? not so distant and for show.
I really dig it a lot.
Wanted you to know!!

Re: Basic Hand Hooping
07/23Great Video. I love your style and instruction. It is really slow & Detailed and just right for my type of learning abilities. I just need to figure out how to get the hoop up and down from my waist. I can do it down but getting it back up over my head is problematic. I think my hands are in the wrong position.
I love it when your cat comes into some of your other videos. -

Re: Basic Hand Hooping - Using cut out finger tips Athletic gloves can give the hands a break.
07/24Oh yes, I just started with the technique for 3 days straight. My hands got so messed up on the first day, so I am using leather and nylong mixed athletic gloves (finger tips are free Lightly padded synthetic, no slip palm) by Excel. What a difference a glove can make. My hands are not so messed up and I can hand loop a lot longer.

Re: Basic Hand Hooping - Using cut out finger tips Athletic gloves can give the hands a break.
07/30When I first started hand hooping, I used fingerless weight lifting gloves. I liked having my fingertips exposed and they provided a bit of coverage to the back of my hands as well. I don't need them anymore but they were helpful while my hands were toughening up and my technique improving. Batting gloves also work very well. I'm glad to hear that your making progress. That makes me so happy!!! And thank you for the kind words also.
