Learn all the ways to combat these common beginner mistakes by checking out this video! This is kind of a compilation of common mistakes I've witnessed through teaching a LOT of hoopers, plus tips on things that really helped with my hoop journey!
#1 - Ignoring your opposite current & non-dominant hand
#2 - Making T-Rex arms/not being conscious of your arms
#3 - Standing still/not dancing
#4 - Choosing the wrong size hoop
#5 - Not ever filming yourself
BONUS TIP - Make sure you practice often! I didn't personally see much improvement until I began spending time hooping every single day! Even if it was only for a few minutes :) - Sport
Not just for beginner hoopers. I've been hooping going on 3 years, and I always need reminding to move with my hoop, move my arms, to record myself, to at least try to learn tricks in both directions, and yes, to pick up my big 42" hoops is really ok. This video helps me with all of this and is one I'll come back to so I don't forget. Thanks for such a great video!
HA! Once you mentioned t-rex arms I realized immediately that's me. Thanks for making me conscience of that and what I can do to fix it.
Also, a thing that helped me a lot was using a mirror, just like dancers do, to see how you look and correct things. Any mirror can help, I use a long vertical one.
Where my t-Rex arms at? Lol
Your are t rex the shape of arms that she mentioned that are t rex arms you should not do like lol
WORD , best advice ever, pure golden nuggets. Filming myself was the biggest boost for me, mostly showing me what not to do, and occasionally capturing some happy accident that became a move. Thanks for sharing. .oOo.oOo.oOo.
Thanks! I've been doing the filming thing, and I've been correcting me and surprising me also jaja. And it's so true the dancing part, when I started to give my hooping that flow I fell in love with the sensation, and I think that that's the essence of hooping: the movement, the flow, the beauty and and the freedom. Excellent advices!
yes! all of these. my biggest mistake was not dancing to music!! I was just learning tricks and not flow. That has hurt me tremendously. So now I'm just over a year in and trying to become fluid BC I didn't practice to music. For me, music was the key to unlock my flow.
Amy Ramos I know it's been awhile since you posted that but I just wanted to say I feel that completely! I was always so focused on learning the new cool moves that when I tried to actually flow with them, I would get stuck and find myself not knowing where to go from certain positions on the fly even though I knew tons of moves. Practicing with music and giving myself some flow time along with learning different kinds of moves has definitely made me feel alot more comfortable!!
Thank you for sharing bc I identify w this mistake, gonna start hooping w music now!💕
I have never "hooped" before, but want to learn. I will be 53 in Dec, and would love to do it before then! Thanks for the advice!
Makes me feel so much better about me filming my practicing!!!
These are all such great tips Katie! Thanks so much for posting this :)
omg this is such a good video haha everything in this is so true. I'll definitely be more conscious of these things now
Really love this video! Useful from beginners to beyond. gREAT JOB!
really awesome tute thankyou, I've been hooping a year and have only just started to incorporate and drill the opp current / arm, best advice! and you move so beautifully with the hoop!
awesome tips! I have a hard time going the opposite direction but it does open so much more up. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us it really helped me 🤗
So graceful! I'm impressed.
This is so helpful! I’ve tried off and on to learn to hoop but I’m going to try again and I’m hoping this time I will be able to get it.
Great video! I was coming up with ideas for my own video of mistakes to avoid for beginners and came across this. The T-Rex arms is such good advice. I admit that I'm guilty of that far too often, haha. Must work on my T-Rex arms!
Thank you so muuuch! These are very helpful 💕💕

That is the cutest dress!!!
I learnt how to make the hoop move on our waist with the help of your 1st advice
Amazing!
Hello! I know I’m late but these tips are super useful and I’ll be sure to incorporate them! Thank you so much! Also, your dress is super pretty! Where did you get it if you don’t mind me asking? :)
Why do i like watching girls hopping so much ? It's really cool. Girl hoppers rock.
I like the idea 😀
Loved the t-rex arms!
Wow it s exactly like me...
I don t practice opposit side, or almost never. I don t turn enough, my arms is a catastophe...
So thanks a lot for your advice
You can try arm hoops with stacked hoops to cover more and get the most out. Not a shortcut it's just something to speed it up a bit. You need to have good rhythm tho
I’m doing both directions cuz I wanted muscles to get built equally
All I'm trying to do is hoop around my waist..I didn't expect the hand and shoulder movements!
Thanks for the tips, I found that very useful! By the way, can you tell me where you got your dress? Seriously, that's like the cutest dress ever. Thanks in advance!
You can also make it by your self it's top easy to make
Hamza Shah What's that kind of dress cut/design called? Can you link tutorials?
Thanks,
I got a 28" polypro hoop because I mainly want to do off body tricks but I can't seem to waist hoop with it, I see the one your using to waist hoop looks like it is the length of your inner thigh to your ankle (which is what mine also is) but I can't waist hoop with it without it falling. If I got a bigger hoop (that comes up to my belly button; like 38") and learned to waist hoop with it, would it make it easier to waist hoop with my smaller hoop?
Hey ma'm could you please send the link for the hoop u r using because when I searched for the same I am unable to find it. I request u to please do send the link please ma'm
Your so good
Oh my god 😂 I can easy hoop for an hour, but I just tried the other direction and count hold it for 10 seconds 🙈
Storybrooke ME TOO! 30 Mins in morning and 30 at night no prob (except for the big bruise on my left hip) Lol. I tried opposite direction and just couldn’t do 10 seconds. Good to know it’s not just me. Do you get bruised?
so any advice on how to do it in the opposite direction? I'm also at like 10 seconds and I also get bruised..
@@AIexRiis I'm not a hooper, but I say: practice, practice, practice.
Great advice!! Thank you!
✌🏽,💕& 🤗 Peace, love & hugs!
What type of hoops do you use. I am mainly a weighted waist hooper but would like to diversify to something a bit more interesting!?
polypro obviously
I cannot for the life of me get rid of those t-Rex arms🙈
I bet you can even if it's just 1 inch at a time
By that I mean try moving your arms just 1 or 2 inches out from your body
Or holding your elbows out as if you would gently elbow someone standing next to you.
Then just slowly (even if it's day by day) increase an arm move that you are comfortable with and before you know it I bet those arms are looking lovely and you are doing a fantastic job. I couldn't hold my arms fully to the side and now I can from just taking it little by little and now I can even hold them up for just a few seconds. Make sure to pay attention to the movement of your body you may have to increase your waist force just a little. We will get it - whatever it is we are trying to do as long as we talk positive and keep trying!
All the best and God bless
I'm definitely guilty of the t-rex arms! Except mine are slowly loosening up and look more like Peggy Bundy arms...
Thanks!
I really like the fringie dress
You are so beauty~full!
Is this hoop 5/8 hdpe?
Yes it is! 33"ID!
I want to learn to hoop, but i feel like only people that go to raves can do it. 😒 and that 26 is to old to do it.
Natosha Milam Not gonna say how old I am, but much more than 26..Just started hooping and I love it! Makes me feel energized and happy. Kind of addictive actually. Give it a try!
I'm 36 and learning... And I'm male :)
Never too old ! I am 42 years old - I love to hoop. My mother (62) will even pick up the hoop from time to time and she is good at it when she does ! Not only is hooping great physical exercise but it is also good mentally. And by mentally , I mean that it is good “brain exercise “ as well as boosting confidence and even helping with conditions such as depression & anxiety. Never let your age be a deciding factor in life ...... “too old” to who??? The rest of society ? If I lived my life to comply with some of our “society’s standards” , It certainly would not have been as interesting and no where near as much fun! If you want to do something in life and it feels right to YOU, and no harm to anyone else , then Do it and feel good about it. In the end , when you are beautifully hooping and obviously enjoying yourself, anyone who may have thought you were “too old” will likely be envious and jealous. So, pick up your hoop and most importantly, have fun while you are learning and practicing ! ✌🏽,💕& 🤗 Peace, love & hugs!
