I am trying to learn to leg/knee hoop and am just not getting it. I've watched just about all the tutorials I have found here and just can't seem to get the mechanics of it. I barely get in 2 or 3 rotations and down it goes. Does the size of your hoop make a difference? Is bigger easier than smaller? Any advice is always appreciated.

Hi there, Link-related links requested Thread Title -belly free moves (arms & legs only) Original Poster -Danceintechnicolour Date of Original Post -May 24/07 Number of Replies - Xta pointed me in the right direction, so I'm posting my origional msg here. I'm still not sure of all the names of moves, so if people could post their favorites here, in responses, it'll save me wading through lots of irrelevant posts, with moves i am unable to do for the time being. hi all, I'm writting this as a call to post good tutorial clips for any hoop tricks not involving the mid-section of the body. I am a very new hooper, and looking for arm & leg manuvours that may be practiced safely while pregnant. I'm finding being reduced to a very low activity level, and being an arm chair enthusiast....is just kind of....well....depressing. I am willing to continue my hooping abstinance if need be though : ) . Any youtube clips, suggestions, or relavant addy's are much appreciated! Any clips/ideas? thanks in advance for your responses!

(attempt number... five? ..to get this thread right!) Collection threads are a resource tool to help make searching for information easier. These are not actual discussion areas, just a gathering place where tribe members will add links to threads with information on the collection topic. Please feel free to revive any of these older thread by posting a reply within that thread, which will move it up to the top of the active threads list. When adding a new link to a collection thread, please include this information: A new Subject Heading to make it easy to visually skim through the thread Link Thread Title Original Poster Date of Original Post Number of Replies .. and then provide a brief description of the content of that thread, so that searchers will know if the thread is likely to contain the information they need. Thanks for your help! X.
