come to hoopcity.ca, tons of hoopers and we can teach ya! A bunch of us make tutorials or post ones that we find when people ask for it. There is also an online class too by a really awesome canadian hooper.

Watching all you hoopers at roo has got me interested too. I may sign up to that site! It looks like a lot of fun and good exercise. I have the perfect little grass spot off my apt porch for practicing! Can you guys help with picking out the right hoop to start with?

I can also recommend practicing with a friend. I learned more hooping @ Bonnaroo than I did in the 2 months I was hooping on my own, and all it took was watching and learning! The hoop classes at Such n Such were great

my gf is a hooper and i find it sexy as hell! she'll just grab one of her hoops and start hooping in the living room...i recommend all of you girls go for it!
Man... We had a group of girls who loved to trip and hula hoop, camped right beside us all weekend. They were incredibly cute and made it really hard to ever leave for centeroo. So I completely support hula hoop lessons! The more hula hoopers the better!
That was cool as hell when people could get them to their legs and bring them back up! Or dance, arms and all, while hooping. I always sucked at regular hooping, haha.

Yes ma'am! :-) The bigger the better to start with, depending on your height. BamaDancer can vouch for this -- I'm pretty short, so I use hoops that come up to my belly button but you can use one that comes up to your chest and it could be easier.
And I hoop in a tiny spot in my dining room of my apartment, in a landscaped area outside of my call center when I'm on lunch and the park or the apartment complex playground when I'm off from work. Pretty much any where I can move without damaging electronics or a wall (or at least not break the wall) is good for me. :-)
One of the girls in my group is a big hooper, she actually hooped the half marathon, (no joke) in may this year. Druid, and roofan know her pretty well, and she is damned good, I think she has been doing a class for a year or so now. My GF is really excited and wants to start herself.

"It's hard to say whether seeing Kellz backed by Jim James and his lion's mane hairdo or Billy Idol rocking out next to John Oates and his soul patch was weirder to watch. Let's just say both were beautifully bizarre sights to behold."

I LOVED watching the hoopers. At the Del McCoury Show (or was it Grisman?) a mother and her ~7-yr. old daughter were hooping together. This has inspired me to learn and teach my two lil girls. Plus it's exercise and does look damn sexy.

i wanna start too! where's a good place to buy a beginner hoop?
Hmm. Try Etsy stores, like dancinginthecircle.etsy.com or sunbeamlaserbeam.etsy.com or hipEhoops.etsy.com. You could always buy from Hoopnotica or HoopGirl online too. But I love buying from Etsy because the people will really work with you if you want a customized order and all three of the stores I've listed I've talked with the owners many times about hoops and hooping and am friends with all. :-)
I was watching this beautiful girl hula hooping Fri. night by Pretty lights. I was just zoned in on what she was doing and how perfectly she did it with the music. Pretty awesome
I'm really good at just regular hula hooping, but that's all I can do, none of the fancy stuff. Now I'm all determined to try haha.
:-) I love popping out a crazy trick but I always make sure I'm in an area with plenty of room so I don't hit people. However, if people walk into it, I will apologize even though it's kinda obvious it's there and there is lotsa room to walk around and the person walked right into it.
I know a trick you could do right now! Have the hoop on your right hand so its going in front of you vertically and hand hoop towards your right side, so it's going clockwise when you're looking at it. Lift your left knee up (you can bend it to lift it up further) and scoop the hoop under your knee and grab it with the other hand and bring up. Totally do not need a whole lot of room for that one.

just wanted to give you a big thank you, sarah (dancinginthecircle) is currently making a customized hoop for me, i cannot wait to get it in the mail @ the end of this week! hope to see you next year, maybe you can teach me a few things!
I've been obsessed with hooping since I got back from Roo!! However, I'm also unfortunately broke too As soon as I get some extra cash I'll be ordering my hoop!
