Inside Out Whip Beginner Hula Hoop Tutorial

by Mama Ruby May 21, 2018
written by Mama Ruby

One of my favorite beginner hula hoop tutorials!

The inside out whip is a totally flowy super cool illusion you can create with your hoop where it looks like you are rolling a hoop across a table in front of you and weaving it in and out around your body.  I sort of think of this trick as a cross between a weave and a linear isolation.  Check it out!

What size hoop is needed to learn the inside out whip?

For this trick a medium sized, lightweight hdpe hoop would be a great choice.  Use the same size hoop you used to learn basic isolations.  If you have our Go Getter Starter Pack, use the dance practice hoop included in your set!

How to Do a Hula Hoop Duck-In

by Mama Ruby May 21, 2018
written by Mama Ruby

The Horizontal Duck-In Hula Hoop Trick 

This is a fun and different way of getting the hoop back on your body after you have done some off-body tricks.  You simply pass the hoop around your body from hand to hand and then duck right into it and keep hooping!  This one will feel awkward at first but keep trying and I guarantee you’ll get the hang of it!

What size hula hoop do I need to do the duck-in?

A big hoop is best to learn how to do a hula hoop duck in.  If you have our Go Getter Starter Pack, definitely use the beginner hoop from your set!

How to Get Hoop Up From Knees – Hula Hoop Tutorial

by Mama Ruby May 21, 2018
written by Mama Ruby

An extremely fun trick that makes me feel like I’m blasting off into outer space!  

I do consider this a beginner hula hoop trick, although every hooper is different and some may not learn this until they are further into their hoop journey.

It seems as though knee hooping is very easy for some hoopers and a difficult challenge for others.  We all learn each trick at our own pace!  This is one I struggled with for a few months. 

Don’t give up just because it seems hard at first! When you finally nail it, the satisfaction will feel so good!

One Way To Get Hoop Up From Knees

There are actually at least two ways to transition out of knee hooping.  The one I am teaching you today involves using your hand to lift the hoop.  The other method would be to wiggle the hoop back up to your waist, chest, or wherever you’d like to move it.

Best Hoop for Learning How to Get Hoop Up From Knees 

For this trick, as with most beginner hula hoop tricks, I definitely recommend using a beginner hoop or any hoop that has a large diameter.  Since large hoops move slower, it will give your body more time to react and learn the necessary movement.  Once you have it down, you can translate it to a smaller hoop if you want.

Waist to Lasso Hula Hoop Trick Tutorial

by Mama Ruby May 21, 2018
written by Mama Ruby

Lifting The Hoop Up From Waist to Lasso

This is one of the first tricks you should learn once you have learned how to waist hoop.  It looks smooth and impressive once you master it, and it will be useful for transitions and hoop dance as you progress through your practice and learn more tricks.  

The waist to lasso hula hoop trick is the first pre-requisite to learning the vortex, which is a cool hula hoop trick where you continually move the hoop from your waist to up over your head and back down.

We will get to that trick later, though.  First, give lifting the hula hoop up into lasso a try.

What Size Hoop Do I Need for the Waist to Lasso Hula Hoop Trick?

You should use your biggest hoop for this one.  As with most tricks, using a big hoop slows it way down so you can teach your body what to do.  Once you get the hang of it you can translate the movement to a smaller hoop, if you prefer. 

If you need a big hoop, grab one of our beginner hoops.

Escalator Hula Hoop Trick Tutorial

by Mama Ruby May 21, 2018
written by Mama Ruby

The escalator hula hoop trick is possible for anyone to learn no matter how long you’ve been hula hooping.  It looks so cool, there are tons of variations, and it’s always a crowd pleaser!  

Best Hoop to Use for Escalator Hula Hoop Trick

The best hoop to use to learn the escalator hula hoop trick is a medium-sized hoop.  If you have our Go Getter pack, you would want to use the lighter weight dance hoop it comes with for this trick.  

Most of the time, you’re going to want a bigger hoop to learn most hula hoop tricks.  The escalator is an exception to that.

Even though it’s possible to do this trick with a wide variety of hoop diameters, this particular trick can initially be a little more difficult to learn with a really large hoop.  That’s because of the way the hoop gets flipped above your head when you catch it.  A bigger hoop may go so high you can’t even reach it. 

If you have a beginner hoop but are ready to try a smaller, lighter weight hula hoop for tricks like this one, check out our Lightweight HDPE Hula Hoops.  I would recommend choosing a diameter about 4″ smaller than your beginner hoop.
