Palm Spin Hula Hoop Tutorial

palm spin hula hoop tutorial

This hula hoop trick makes a great way to create the illusion the hoop is spinning around your hand. It is a great hoop move to transition into on body hooping or off body hooping as you are able to move straight into vertical or horizontal plane.  I recommend practicing in balancing the hoop on your palm along with taking these steps to performing the palm spin. Here we go from vertical hand hooping straight onto an open palm spin. You can purchase dance hoops here handmade by myself.

Vertical Pop In Hoop Tutorial

This Vertical Hooping Tutorial focuses on how to pop in to the hoop and roll it across your back as you’ve placed it onto your chest. This move is so effective when moving into from a weave or just vertical hand hooping. In this move we place the hoop onto our chest whilst leaning forward and let the inside of the hula hoop roll over your back quickly in chest hooping vertically with our arms out of the hoop and from there we pull it off all in one motion. You will see how this move can be used as a way to move from vertical hand hooping into vertical chest hooping and back.  Vertical Hooping where always a challenge for me to get right. In this Hooping tutorial I’ve added some pointers that helped me get the Vertical Pop In right. I hope it helps you! 🙂
