Learn to Hula Hoop On Your Waist with SpinJoy 

HI Aurora. I'm using a weighted 'dance hoop'. They are specially made for hula hoop dancing so weigh approx 300-500grams which is significantly heavier than regular kids toy hoops, but it is not the same as the very heavy/chunky fitness hoops that you find in a lot of regular fitness stores. I hope that makes sense! You need to get these from specialised hoop makers. This is my store and the hoop I'm using is a 'Body Rock' hoop: spinjoy.com.au/products/body-rock-dance-hula-hoops I ship worldwide from Australia, but if you want to shop local, I would recommend searching "dance hula hoop" in your area and having a chat with the store owner about a size they recommend based on your height and waist circumference. Hope that helps! Caitlyn xo

Yay! I'm SO glad you found the video helpful :) Good luck with your hula hooping journey! If you're interested in more videos, this one is the first of my Foundations of Hoop Dance Course spinjoy.com.au/products/foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance-online-course

​@@SpinJoyHoopDanceI am starting a new hobby Hola Hooping

@@seayolafernandes544 I hope you have fun 😊

If you end up needing any further assistance, don't be afraid to reach out to me via email or instagram. I'm always happy to help wherever I can xox

Excellent!!! Happy birthday!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy hoop adventure

That's awesome news, thank you! Stick with it. It does get easier I promise. Also, if you're needing help, always happy to do some technique checks if you want to send me a video on Instagram messenger. Having someone see what's going on can make it all come together a lot quicker! Xx

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial.

Thank you Mari! Hope you're keeping well and slaying the hoop as usual :D xoxo

Wonderful! Well done you! Hope you enjoy your hoop journey :)

You’re gross

so glad you were able to get it going! Have fun!!

Yay! Well done Lucy! So satisfying when it starts to click isn't it? I'm glad the tutorial was helpful :)

thank you for the lovely feedback and well done on getting it going! I also learned to hula hoop as an adult haha. Have fun with your new epic skills!!

Yay! I'm proud of you for not giving up. It's often the case with learning hula hooping (and anything else) that there are a lot of tutorials or explanations around but persisting until you find one that clicks for you is key. Sometimes someone will say one thing differently and it all of a sudden makes sense. Keep going, you're doing amazing xxx

Yay well done!! 🤩🥳

Yay! I'm so so thrilled to hear you've got it. Well done and thank you for sharing your success with me. Your message put a big smile on my face!

@@SpinJoyHoopDance aww you deserve that smile on your face Even now I'm hooping I can't stop doing it and can't stop thinking bout' you

thank you!!

Yay I'm so glad it helped!! 🎉❤️🎉

thank you 🥰

I could not hula hoop as a kid! Not a skill everyone has 👏👏 you should be proud. A lot of coordination and skill 🎉🎉

yes stick with it! Doesn't always feel like it at the beginning but I assure you it DOES get easier! If you need help or some trouble shooting, feel free to send me a video via DM on instagram if you're getting stuck. :) xx

awesome stuff! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoy your new hula hoop. Please reach out if you ever need any help!

Yay! I'm so happy to read this and 40 rotations is excellent!! Make sure you get some videos of you hooping while you're learning along the way. It's very cool to be able to see the progress over time. Come back here and let me know if you're still having issues with the hoop being lopsided after a few more days, because I have some tips if it is.

@@SpinJoyHoopDance hey Caitlyn, hope yr well x. Am now up to 2-2.5 minutes! Loving it. Taking videos, though going to take 1 tomorrow without the cycling shorts & knee support as had just been exercising on last couple! 😂. Def still a bit lop sided....

@@joannedavidson9194 2 minutes is a LONG time well done!! If you're finding your hoop is still kinda angling in one particular direction, it indicates that you are pushing more into that particular side. You'll find this with a forward back motion more often. If you're feeling more comfortable with spinning now (which it definitely sounds like you are), try now to really focus on getting the circling action happening where you're pushing even pressure around the whole circle, less into one particular direction. Hope that makes sense!

@@SpinJoyHoopDance thanks. I'm really enjoying making progress. Yes that makes sense, will try that. Thanks so much 😀

thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful :)

oh yes lucky! most people have the opposite problem haha. Can always downsize later if you feel like you want to go a bit quicker and lighter. But keep that one on hand if you do, so you can hoop with your friends!! :D

Hope it helped! All the best on your hoop journey and please reach out if you ever need help. xo

@@SpinJoyHoopDance It worked & I'm so happy 😊

Congratulations! Well done on your success. :)

well done!! It's so satisfying when it clicks. Keep at it and it'll just get easier and easier, you won't even need to think about it anymore.

Thank you! So glad the video helped 🥰

@@SpinJoyHoopDance 🍷😄

So glad you enjoyed it!

thank you for watching :)

good luck! let me know how you get on.

you're welcome! So glad it helped! :)

Glad it helped! This is the first lesson from a full course I have for beginners that comes with a $30 store credit for a dance hoop. If you'd like to check out the rest, the course is available here. It'll teach how to hula hoop dance in 4 weeks 🥰🎉💃courses.spinjoy.com.au/courses/spinjoy-foundations-of-hula-hoop-dance

No it's not I still can't do it I'm crying😭😭😭

that's great progress and yes, getting it nice and high on your waist is the best place to control it. If you are finding after a while you're still favouring one hip or noticing bruising in one particular spot of your body, a good thing to focus on is evenly pushing in the other direction. If you're favouring the right hip, try to think about equal force for the push when it comes around to the left side as well. Eventually you'll be pushing evenly in a circular spiral the whole way around, but it can take a little bit of time. Have fun!!

You're welcome! Hope it was helpful!

thank you!!

that's great! Shoot me an email if you're interested in being set up as an affiliate to refer your customers to the full beginners course. caitlyn@spinjoy.com.au x

Thank you! Hope it helped 🙏

Are you still having trouble getting the hoop to stay up? Why don't you send me a video so I can see? Over on Instagram instagram.com/_spinjoy_/

you're welcome, let me know if you're still needing assistance

@@SpinJoyHoopDance Thank u mam...its been a week started my journey... for any assistance will definitely reach out to spinjoy team. mm

haha i'm very flattered, what a compliment. Aside from enjoying to warm up the dance floor at nightclubs when no one else is yet drunk enough, I don't have a dance background. I enjoy just moving to the music and flowing with my hoop. I teach a lot of the moves and flowing together a sequence in this Foundations of Hoop Dance course and I dive into how to dance with the hoop and some stuff on musicality and hitting the beat in my Body Rock Course, but they're all focused on doing it with the hoop! xoxo Both of those courses are available here: courses.spinjoy.com.au/

@@SpinJoyHoopDance that is clearly a lie! You are a great dancer!

@@misss.455 haha you are too sweet 😅❤️😘

Small children should be ok with kids toys hula hoops. But children can definitely use larger hoops, it's just about finding a good size that they are capable of lifting off the ground and spinning effectively. Really small children mostly struggle with being strong enough to push the hoop hard enough.

thanks!

hope it helped!!!

My pleasure Robert! Happy hoopin'

Give it a little bit of time but if you're still not getting it, shoot me a video and I'll see what's going on. Over on Instagram is easiest ❤️

@@SpinJoyHoopDance thank you. Who are you on Instagram?

Can you send me a video of you hula hooping?? info@spinjoy.com.au or if you can tell me how big your hula hoop is from top to bottom and how tall you are and your waist circumference?

cheers Jo!

Ok so....in this video here, I show the technique to push harder and faster if the hoop is starting to fall down. It's good to train this technique to save the hoop. HOWEVER, if you are making really big movements with your body/big exaggerated pushes that throw your alignment out, its not great technique. What I suggest is pushing the hoop hard and practicing very tight fast pushes to keep the hoop spinning fast. Then when you start to fall out of the speed and slow down, re-push the hoop fast again and keep going. This method will have you only training the tight fast pushes you want to be achieving, not falling out of alignment to rescue your hoop. It will probably be pretty exhausting, it should be high energy. After doing this a few times in your practice sessions, your body will be trained to keep these tight fast pushes going more easily. I hope that makes sense!! If you need a demonstration let me know and I can do it over on my instagram account for you xox

If you'd like to shoot me an email, i'll see if I can help find a good hoop size and somewhere local to you. info@spinjoy.com.au

Hi Elnora! It's likely the hula hoop you're using isn't big enough. If you'd like some help working it out feel free to email me caitlyn@spinjoy.com.au

Glad it helped!
