    Wonderful video. I'm an off/on hooper for, gosh, 6 or 7 years and your explanation of the process is very astitute. I rember spending hours watching a certain vid and pausing and just trying again. That "high" of when you finally get a trick is better than (almost) anything. Just wanted to say great job. Happy hooping!

    I have been learning to hoop for about five months now. I set myself the challenge for two reasons. One because I think it looks great and I am so envious when I see people doing it, the other because I am the clumsiest person ever and I thought these things were impossible to me. I'm learning fast (for me) and I'm really pleased with my progress. If I can do this anyone can. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration.

  • @gemgen101
    @gemgen101  11 років тому +1

    when i started i was in a tiny dorm room so i'd watch the hoopnotica DVDs, try to get the movement down in my head before going outside and then i'd practice outside on the side of the building so if the hoop fell it'd hit the wall or the bush. So you can go outside and practice in a corner and just watch the DVDs to get the movement down before going outside. otherwise you can go to a public park. practicing in public also helps out a TON with confidence and performance :D hope that helped :D

    Hey you have inspired me so much, I have been hooping since April and have learned a lot but still no hoop flow, I bought the hoop optical DVDs because you recommended them and also have been taking a hoop optical certified class on sudsy afternoons. I've even been recording myself sending it to friends/family and posting it on my you tube and Facebook. You should take a look and see if you can give me some tips. Also I don't have a lot of space in my townhouse not a ton of space to hoop :/

  • @MiaMoore

    Hey girl, love your videos! You're one of the many hoopers who have inspired me to make progress videos. I have a question -- I recently found out that my campus gym offers a giant room to use when there aren't classes in it, just like yours! Do you usually carry hoops around with you and go when you can or do you make specific trips to the gym with your hoops and music/recording stuff only? Thanks!

  • @gemgen101
    @gemgen101  12 років тому

    if you have a lot of questions feel free to message me so i can respond to all of them. For now, with chest hooping, its just about practice and patience: make a plan the next time you do a trick and if it doesn't work make a new plan. Look in the mirror and even record yourself to see what might be the problem. Remember all 4 pushes. MANY hoopers agree that chest hooping does take the longest to learn. It took me 1-2months to get the move. So it will take a long time but keep the 3 Ps in mind.

    I am glad I found your helpful videos. I have a silly question, but I have to ask. You suggested posting videos so you can see your improvement. If you post private videos can a person trust that they will stay private? I am older and I WANT NO ONE to ever see them! It would be good, however, to critique myself and see my own progress. Thanks!

    i go at specific times because on weekdays till 8 they have classes in that room so i go from 9 or 10pm-12am (when they close). But weekends they don't have classes in there but they close earlier so i go whenever during the day. I use to go almost every day last semester but this year i go only twice at max since i don't live on campus anymore and don't have a parking pass

    Hello! Do you think you could make a tutorial on how to weave your hands in and out of the hoop? I don't think I can find any videos (or maybe cause I don't know the name of the trick), and I'd really appreciate it if you could do one! Thank you! :-)

    I've been hooping since last summer (after admiring for about 5 years now) and I'm a sloooooow learner.
    I've been favoring songs in 3/4 "waltz" time which seems to give me the best "flow."
    I've been having a hard time getting that to move into standard time or other similar but I look like I'm wayy off.
    Advice?

  • @gemgen101
    @gemgen101  11 років тому

    np, but yes, if its on private only you can see it. If you want to share it only with friends & family then put it on "unlisted" which will only play for people who have the link meaning you are in control of sending the link to whoever you want to see it. Otherwise, no one can see it. I have a few unlisted videos myself so i know it works (videos of family events & whatnot)

    what kind of linear are you talking about? i'm not great at isolations ALTHOUGH there is this great guy n youtube who does a lot of ISOs. i forget his name but if you look up ISO or ISO hooping it should come up. he usually does things with small hoops but it should help a great deal with linear isolations. i know theres the cat eye and another i don't know the name to and the anti spin and flick but thats all. hope that helped!

    • @gemgen101
      @gemgen101  9 років тому

      Ms_ DaniCalifornia i just saw this comment. youtube layout has been weird lately. anywhoo... maybe you need a different hoop. the first hoop I got was a naked 28" that never felt good to hoop with, and 28 was what I was considering a somewhat intermediate hoop --since you normally start with a 29 - 42"--! 28" was hevy for me, although good fro super basic bgeinner stuff that you really do need. I tried a travel, plastic hoop from hoopnotica which pulled out my hair because of the screws that kept coming loose. Then I found a light hoop on esty from featherhoops where the plastic material was lighter than most PSIs and the tape didn't weigh the whole thing down. If you're hoop is bruisng you and it's a pain to hoop with when you want to just go faster and not hurt yourself, then you go lighter material or smaller in size or both. Later, size depends on how fast you want to hoop dance and sometimes the songs that play that you want to dance to (example: large hoop in a crowded festival is probably not going to have a lot of hoop time)

    2 words of advice
    1) Take the good with the bad. Appreciate the good comments so you can ignore the bad ones. For the bad think "well,that's THEIR opinion"or "i'm just happy that I can do it.Those haters are probably jealous they can't do it"
    2nd advice is actually what I see a lot in hooping videos with lots of dislikes & that is having an LED as a beginner &/or dressing sexy just to show off yourself & not you dancing with the hoop. Stay away from those 2 and people will appreciate and love it

    There are A LOT of hoopers on youtube that demonstrate flow in some of their videos, the trick is to watch their videos and see how they feel the music. Really though, flow is how you interpret the music and how your body and hoop in turn responds to it. @ 1 point, every hooper experiences a few monents of flow even if they are trying to do all tricks so look for those moments in the videos. otherwise the hoopers off the top of my head are jiminhwang, wantonamara, katiebug0376, hoopalicious,

    I am 10 years old i have been hooping for 3 years and i have a competition in 7 days but i am really upset because i have a broken finger so i am just going to hide it but i dont really think i should what do you think

    • @gemgen101
      @gemgen101  9 років тому +14

      KitKat66 you don't need to worry about hiding it. no one is going to know it's hurt anyway, they're just going to think it's part of the performance costume. and if they do think you're hurt, then you'll look fierce and mighty because you're sucking up the pain and putting a performance on for people. If your finger hurts, its a great time to either slower your pace so your finger can gently catch the tricks without much force trauma OR to try hula hooping in the other direction or just with the other hand :D
