You're such a beautiful man. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks! The way you just described it and broke it down just made it click and I picked up my hoop and did it! ( : you're my new favorite person on the internet and on the face of this Earth my dear sir!!! Keep up the hooping!! Teach me more!
I'm a beginner, I've searched high and low and even asked some fellow hoopers to help me learn. This is the first video I've seen of yours, unfortunately I do not have my hoop to try but I will as soon as I get home! I want to thank you for explaining it in different ways, and just in how you explain it is easy for almost anyone to understand. I appreciate this, and I only hope to get as good as you are.
Hooping is incredibly peaceful for me... I go out to my garden in the evenings... play sum music n hoop for the stars overhead.... anything that weighs heavy on my mind isn't as heavy afterwards....... and nvrmd about dallas... silly girl with just a silly question.... thanx hoopsmiles
I must have watched a dozen hooping tutorials, and yours is the only one that gave me the most valuble information. Ur awesome and i hope with your video and practice ill learn how to chest hoop
I had very neatly given up years of hooping because I could not get chest hooping right...but your brilliant video has worked perfectly for me! You have explained everything so carefully & I am at the stage of dancing my arms in & out! I'm still using a larger hoop to get the technique & rhythm, but the movements are getting smaller & faster with each practice. Thank you for your guiding video, my fitness & hoop enjoyment will never be the same.
You perfect human being, you! This is the first video that has been any help to me. I have NEVER been able to get this down at all, but I watched this yesterday, made a decent amount of progress with the spinning in the direction of the hoop tip, and today did even better experimenting with foot placement, and I'm getting better at not flapping my arms or exaggerating the movement of the torso. Thank you so much for making this video!
I just started hooping with a practice, and I want to say, I love your videos! Thank you for making me smile, even if it takes me forever to get the moves. I love it!
I've been watching your videos and I've been progressing a lot! I love that you really show how to do the trick and do it in slow motion and get descriptive on how too thank you so Much hoopsmiles :)
Omg I've watched so many tutorials on chest hooping and I still can't really do it. This one is so thorough though. I love all the tips. You mentioned things no one else ever did . I'm GOING to learn this now. Thank you ^_^
Also, you are the only clockwise hooper I've found and it's so helpful to watch that instead of watching the counter-clockwise since I hoop to the right as well.
Thank you so much!!! Practicing it for two month- no results, than I found your video and I learned it in a week. Not so nice and smooth yet but it's just the matter of time :)
I really thank u for ur videos... ur my favorite hula teacher... even tho I get a lil jealous sumtimes that U MAKE IT LOOK SOO EASY... ill keep watching for as long as u keep posting such awesome tutorials... : )
Hooping is as always going great n a never ending challenge.... I'm 3 months pregnant now n I do worry about how I'm gonna keep hoopin in about 4 or 5 more... but for now... hoopin is my creator of inner peace n tranquilty.... hey hoopsmiles... do u ever travel thru Dallas???
You are welcome. I remember once I got chest hooping down I felt pretty stoked about it. I think it can sometimes take a little bit before that chest hooping experience is smooth.
Thanks. You might want to practice with a different sized hoop, possibly larger. As you get better you can go back to the 36". I also recommend mastering chest hooping in both directions so when you do use your hand or arm to reverse the hoop you can hoop smoothly in the other direction. Right on. Keep up the hooping.
I love all your tutorials on hooping, this is my second day and I an having so much fun. I have a quick question though, does it master if your arms are bare or clothed? Thanks again!!
This was so helpful! You have such a good way of explaining how things work amd getting it to a very understandable level thank you so much for these videos!
Finally advanced enough to try this and this video has helped me so much! All of your videos have! Thank u for being a great teacher and sharing the hoop love with all of us. I read on fb you were still recovering from injury so I hope you feel better really soon! ♡ Amy
Thanks for sharing the tips. I love hooping but have NO flow and chest hooping is kinda like watching Frankenstein when I do it. But I'm gonna use your tips and keep trying.
Awesome! Thank you for the advice. I've been trying to do the chest rolls and was getting very frustrated that the only thing I managed to do, was look like an idiot with a hula hoop crushing her chest. Thanks again!
Will you ever go on a big talent show, cause I REALLY recommend you do! Like Britans got Talent, or whatever is a big talent contest in which country you are in. You are mega helpful and love hooping.
Vertical chest hopping tut next please! I would have loved this tutorial when I was learning to chest hoop. Still working on getting the hoop vertical and maintaining it there.
I'm a 'virgin hooper'and just wanted to share that it took me 15 minutes to get my body to learn the body movements of allowing the hoop to roll smoothly over my chest arms and back.. my only problem us the hoop slowing down.. When i try to propel it, the hoop skips the rolling over my chest and/or back. Practice makes perfect so I'm not giving up, Thanks hoopsmiles!! =)
I could. I do have a basic isolation tutorial. I have thought about doing a cat eye isolation tutorial. I think cat eyes are pretty awesome. Are there any particular isolations you are fond of?
Right on. You ever practice chest hooping with a larger sized hoop over 45 inches in diameter? I feel like the larger the hoop is the easier chest hooping can be. That's great it's going well for you.
Well unfortunately I work about 60 hours a week :-( so its hard for me to practice... I probably only get about 2 hours in a week. I started learning real fast, but now I'm stuck on shoulder hooping and i just cannot do it! I really love you videos though! you have helped me so much, and I love your positive attitude!
I have made collapsible hoops. At the moment, I'm not making collapsible hoops. As far as supplies go, depends on what collapsible hoop you are making. Are you making a hoop that comes apart or hoop that can be twisted and folded?
youre my hero! Im struggling with getting the shoulder hoop to the vertical hooping and also the dance portion moving your arms in and out of the hoop! Please help if you can!
Hi hoopsmiles...I just found your channel, and I love it. Thank you so much for the tutorial. You explain with nice voice and so nice how you talk. You are a good teacher! I could not wait to have the hoop to learn hoop on my chest and shoulder. I only have one rattan hoop. Would you please let me know what kind of hoop did you use on this video? Such as material and size of it. Thanks again and happy hooping!
You are so welcome! And thank you for your kind words! I believe I used a hoop that was about a 1/2 inch wide and I would guess is about 35 inches in diameter. Though I would say that hoop wouldn't be the best for everyone to use. The size of one's body and where someone is at in their hoop journey can impact the hoop size one may need.
would you recommend that a fairly new hula hooper use a weighted hoop or a regular hoop for the chest rolls? I can't keep my 5 pound weight around my shoulders but I can swing it around my neck pretty well. Thoughts?
I just created a youtube account because I HAD to comment and tell you how awesome-supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also use flow chucks and it takes me FOREVER to learn new moves and because of you I learned THREE hoop tricks in one day!!!!!! You are an angel. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably, it's a piece of pvc tubing from home depot that is wrapped with duct tape that has mostly worn off. It is at the YMCA where I practice. I DO need something better, really. It is 36" diameter. I am good at chest hooping in one direction and getting better at the other direction, and I can change direction back and forth but not quickly and there is just something I'm missing. ??? Thank you very much. You really are just great as a teacher. I hope to be one some day, too.
I love how I'm able to learn hoop tricks from someone who looks like Jesus.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can shoulder hoop now because of your tutorials, thank you 😊
It tends to look awkward but I have a blast.
best hoop tutorials ever
lol. Thank you. I haven't heard that before about my voice. I appreciate that
Thanks. Chest hooping is one of my favorite hooping moves. I think this might be my longest tutorial and I still could have probably added more.
I've actually kind of got it now. I didn't want to, but I switched to a bigger hoop until I can perfect it. So excited to finally learn this ^_^

OMG I LOVE YOU! Such clear and detailed instructions
hoopsmiles It still looks kinda strange (my boobers get in the way :

You are such a groovy dude. I dig your vibes mann. Thanks for tutorial helped me a bunch!
and this wonderful smile :)
its the best tutorial i've seen till now. Thanks! :)
Great question. Yes, it does matter. Depending on the clothing you wear, sometimes hooping on your bare skin can add extra grip.
Thanks. Beatboxing and hooping at the same time can be challenging. It's can take a lot to breath, without getting tired, at the same time.
this is a great tutorial. You have a really nice mic, can I ask the brand you use?
this video is soo helpful !! thank you !

Thanks. I remember hooping around one shoulder took some time, but that is definitely a snazzy move.
im finally starting to get it! thank you! most helpful tutorial.
love your sight thanks for all the help ,
you make me so happy when you dance :) woohoo great tutorial
I could. I do have a basic isolation tutorial. I have thought about doing a cat eye isolation tutorial. I think cat eyes are pretty awesome. Are there any particular isolations you are fond of?
Love you hoopsmiles!
Right on. You ever practice chest hooping with a larger sized hoop over 45 inches in diameter? I feel like the larger the hoop is the easier chest hooping can be. That's great it's going well for you.

youre my hero! Im struggling with getting the shoulder hoop to the vertical hooping and also the dance portion moving your arms in and out of the hoop! Please help if you can!
How is chest hooping going for you now? Have you attempted using a larger hoop?

@@hoopsmiles Thank you so much for your quick and nicely response. I hope I can buy and get the right one. Thanks again...stay safe and healthy!
Thank you :) love and light your way as well. How is the hooping going?
Can you do a tutorial on different types and tricks with isolation?
Thank you! Your tutorials are excellent :)
Thanks :-)
This is so helpful!

I can't keep my 5 pound weight around my shoulders but I can swing it around my neck pretty well. Thoughts?

Thank you :) Dancing while hooping can be a lot of fun.

I made the hoops in this video. I've tried a metal hoop before too. I believe it was an aluminium hoop. It was actually pretty awesome.
My favorite tutorial💙
Awesome!! Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video!!!! 🙏🙌❤️❤️
You're welcome!
You so crazy! Love watching.
Looove your vibe!! Great tutorial!! Subscribed! :D
Very detailed teaching
Thank you!
Very helpful!
That's cool that you find peace through hooping. I don't plan on travelling through Dallas anytime soon. Why do you ask?
Hi! I hace a question about the weight of the hula , it should be light or heavy to achieve that tricks? Thanks
