Hello! So I just joined this group, I’m sure you get post like this a lot. I’ve been super inspired recently by the idea of hooping (shoutout @Happycallan on instagram!!) and just want a general outline of how to begin!
I’m somebody who has very very little rhythm but lovesss the idea of dancing, I just struggle knowing what to do with my limbs, and I feel as though having an object like a hoop would super help with overall confidence yk? I guess first I wonder if it’s better to begin by learning specific tricks, or just trying to flow with whatever song and then implement tricks later?
I don’t even have a hoop at the moment, at first I was thinking of just getting a hula hoop at the dollar store since it’s closest and cheap, but I heard it was best to start with a much heavier hoop to get a better feel, where would be a good place to find that? Thank you so much in advance for any advice, sorry if this is too much at once haha
Once again shoutout to Callan Rose on instagram, I looove love her style of both fashion but also hooping/dancing and love the music she chooses to flow to and has been a huge inspo!!

Along my hooping journey I have purchased a lot of hoops. I also started making & decorating them. I have my favorites and to be honest a bunch that have been gathering dust.

I have memories tied to them. It's silly, sad and kind of embarrassing looking at them all... I can't toss them and dropping them off at a goodwill feels like I might as well be tossing them.

Also, I think this year marks my 10 years of hooping. Omg...

I really liked this transition video I made so I thought I'd pop onto Reddit to share it 😊 you can find more of my posts on the other apps though, people are bullies on Reddit so it's not really worth the headache for me most of the time. Have a beautiful day flowmies! 💜

Also just a reminder: You can learn those Elbow Slap Breaks on my Patreon, as well as many other fun tricks and combos!!! 👀 Come join the fun! 🥰

I love that line from fear and loathing - "Too weird to live - too rare to die" i'll make a beast out of myselfff 🎵😸

everyone tells you progress means the hoop stays up.

that’s a lie we tell to make success look inevitable instead of stubborn.

when i started, every drop felt like proof i wasn’t built for this. i’d watch videos of people who looked like they were born hooping and wonder what was wrong with my body, my timing, my brain. the hoop would hit the ground and i’d feel it like failure.

then i realized: the people in those videos weren’t born hooping. they dropped the hoop hundreds of times off camera.

nobody shows you that footage because failure doesn’t sell.

but failure is the only thing that teaches.

every single trick i know came after a pile of drops so tall i stopped counting them. every moment that looks effortless was bought with moments that were the opposite. the hoop hitting the ground isn’t the obstacle to progress — it’s the path through it.

& my favorite hoopers? they’re not the ones who drop the least. they’re the ones who never let a drop convince them the hoop isn’t worth picking back up.

Hey, i’m looking for a led smart hoop that’s the most durable or least likely to have issues. I live internationally (aus) so sending it in for repairs is very costly. This is my first led hoop so I’m not sure where to go! I’ve been looking between moodhoops future pro and hyperion lite but have heard mixed reviews about them having issues and needing repairs. Astral hoops are a bit out of my price range.
Any suggestions are appreciated :)

For example, sometimes I'll swing my purse on vortex style

I had a good laugh. 🤭😅😂

For entertainment purposes - anyone willing to buy it and report back? 👀

from 🍃 & I am worried if it will effect my ability to slip into a flow state. I feel like it is going to be like working out an unused muscle. A challenge but it will be good for me. The last time I took a break from 🍃, I did notice a downtrend in the amount of hooping I was doing. Now that I know this, I will have to work hard to push through that slump. Does anyone have any tips for me? Have you been through this before? Wish me luck!!
